Equilibrium crystal structures, electron band dispersions and band gap values of layered GaSe and InSe semiconductors, each being represented by four polytypes, are studied via first-principles calculations within the density functional…

Ab initio molecular dynamics simulation is used to study the structure and electronic properties of the liquid Ga-Se system at the three compositions Ga$_2$Se, GaSe and Ga$_2$Se$_3$, and of the GaSe and Ga$_2$Se$_3$ crystals. The calculated…

The search for new wide band gap materials is intensifying to satisfy the need for more advanced and energy efficient power electronic devices. Ga$_2$O$_3$ has emerged as an alternative to SiC and GaN, sparking a renewed interest in its…

The quasiparticle band structures of four polytypes 3C, 6H, 4H, and 2H of GaP, GaAs, GaSb, InP, InAs, and InSb are computed with high accuracy including spin-orbit interaction applying a recently developed approximate calculation scheme,…

Hexagonal SiGe is a promising material for combining electronic and photonic technologies. In this work, the energetic, structural, elastic and electronic properties of the hexagonal polytypes (2$H$, 4$H$ and 6$H$) of silicon and germanium…

We use dispersion-corrected density-functional theory to determine the relative energies of competing polytypes of bulk layered hexagonal post-transition-metal chalcogenides, to search for the most stable structures of these potentially…

Using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we investigate a family of stable two-dimensional crystals with chemical formula $A_2B_2$, where $A$ and $B$ belong to groups IV and V, respectively ($A$ = C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb;…

GaGeTe is a layered topological semimetal that has been recently found to exist in at least two different polytypes, $\alpha$-GaGeTe ($R\bar{3}m$) and $\beta$-GaGeTe ($P6_3 mc$). Here we report a joint experimental and theoretical study of…

The structural and electronic properties of the wurtzite phase of the InAs and GaAs compounds are, for the first time, studied within the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT). We used the full-potential linearized augmented plane…

In$_2$Se$_3$ is a semiconductor material that can be stabilized in different crystal structures (at least one 3D and several 2D layered structures have been reported) with diverse electrical and optical properties. This feature has plagued…

The stability and electronic structure of competing silicene phases under in-plane compressive stress, either free-standing or on the ZrB$_2$(0001) surface, has been studied by first-principles calculations. A particular…

Metal monochalcogenide GaSe is a classic layered semiconductor that has received increasing research interest due to its highly tunable electronic and optical properties for ultrathin electronics applications. Despite intense research…

The top-down synthesis of inherently ferroelectric semiconductors and their integration with traditional material platforms have the potential to enable new low power logic devices, and to harness the bulk photoelectric effect for more…

Quaternary chalcogenide compositions have been broadly explored due to their promising potential for various optoelectronic applications. The band structure, density of states and optical properties of CuZn2InS4 and CuZn2GaS4 for kesterite…

We observe that pressure-induced amorphization of Ga2SeTe2 (a III-VI semiconductor) is directly influenced by the periodicity of its intrinsic defect structures. Specimens with periodic and semi-periodic two-dimensional vacancy structures…

The electronic structures of four semiconductor compounds BaCu2S2, BaCu2Se2, BaAg2S2, and BaAg2Se2 are studied by density functional theory using both semi-local and hybrid functionals. The ionization energies and electron affinities were…

While metals can be readily processed and reshaped by cold rolling, most bulk inorganic semiconductors are brittle materials that tend to fracture when plastically deformed. Manufacturing thin sheets and foils of inorganic semiconductors is…

Novel wide-band-gap semiconductors are needed for next-generation power electronic but there is a gap between a promising material and a functional device. Finding stable contacts is one of the major challenges, which is currently dealt…
