First-principles study of the electronic structure and optical properties of defect chalcopyrite CdGa2Te4

The electronic and optical properties of the defect chalcopyrite CdGa2Te4 compound are studied based on the first-principles calculations. The band structure and density of states are calculated to discuss the electronic properties and orbital hybridized properties of the compound. The optical properties, including complex dielectric function, absorption coefficient, refractive index, reflectivity, and loss function, and the origin of spectral peaks are analysed based on the electronic structures. The presented results exhibit isotropic behaviours in a low and a high energy range and an anisotropic behaviour in an intermediate energy range.

Theoretical investigation of the elastic, electronic, thermodynamic and optical properties of the zinc-blende structure AlN under high pressure

The elastic, electronic, thermodynamic and optical properties of the zinc-blende structure aluminum nitride (AlN) under high pressure have been investigated using first-principles calculations. The dependencies of the elastic constants, the bulk modulus, the shear modulus and energy gaps on the applied pressure are presented, and the results are in good agreement with comparable experimental and theoretical values. Also, the energy band structure and density of states under high pressure have been analysed. Furthermore, the optical constants, including the dielectric function, optical reflectivity, refractive index and electron energy loss, are discussed for radiation up to 50 eV.

Theoretical investigation of elastic, electronic, and optical properties of zinc-blende structure GaN under high pressure

The elastic, electronic, and optical properties of zinc-blende structure GaN under high pressure are investigated by using a first-principles ultra-soft pseudo-potential approach of the plane wave based on the density functional theory. The calculated results show the dependences of the elastic constant, the bulk modulus, the young modulus, and the energy gap on the applied pressure, and the results are in good agreement with the experimental and theoretical values. Furthermore, the dielectric function, optical reflectivity, refractive index, absorption coefficient and energy-loss function of GaN are analyzed in terms of the accurately calculated band structure and density of state. The conclusions drawn from the calculations offer theoretical basis for the design and application of GaN.
