The crystal structure of p-type transparent conductive oxide CuBO2
We employed ab initio global structural prediction algorithms to obtain the ground-state structure of CuBO2 This is a very promising p-type transparent conductive oxide that was synthesized recently, and thought to belong to the delafossite family. We proved that the true ground state is certainly not the delafossite structure, and that the most promising candidate is a low symmetry monoclinic ...
متن کاملPolymorph engineering of CuMO2 (M = Al, Ga, Sc, Y) semiconductors for solar energy applications: from delafossite to wurtzite
The cuprous oxide based ternary delafossite semiconductors have been well studied in the context of p-type transparent conducting oxides. CuAlO2, CuGaO2 and CuInO2 represent a homologous series where the electronic properties can be tuned over a large range. The optical transparency of these materials has been associated with dipole forbidden transitions, which are related to the linear O-Cu-O ...
متن کاملPoint defects and transport mechanisms in transparent conducting oxides of intermediate conductivity
The layered delafossite structure p-type transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) and the mayenite cage-structure n-type transparent conducting oxides represent enabling materials for novel technological applications. In the present work, isovalent replacement of the delafossite B-site cation (i.e., B=Sc and Y for Al in CuBO2) and isovalent substitution of the mayenite Ca-cations by Mg in C12A7 (12...
متن کاملLuminescence of delafossite-type CuAlO2 fibers with Eu substitution for Al cations
CuAlO2 has been examined as a potential luminescent material by substituting Eu for Al cations in the delafossite structure. CuAlO2:Eu3+ nanofibers have been prepared via electrospinning for the ease of mitigating synthesis requirements and for future optoelectronics and emerging applications. Single-phase CuAlO2 fibers could be obtained at a temperature of 1100 °C in air. The Eu was successful...
متن کاملEffects of electronic and lattice polarization on the band structure of delafossite transparent conductive oxides.
We use hybrid functionals and restricted self-consistent GW, state-of-the-art theoretical approaches for quasiparticle band structures, to study the electronic states of delafossite Cu(Al,In)O2, the first p-type and bipolar transparent conductive oxides. We show that a self-consistent GW approximation gives remarkably wider band gaps than all the other approaches used so far. Accounting for pol...
