研究目的
Investigating the potential application of six novel carbon and silicon allotropes in the photovoltaic field.
研究成果
The study predicts three novel carbon and silicon allotropes with potential applications in high-frequency, high-power electronic devices and photovoltaic applications due to their direct bandgap values and better photon absorption characteristics than diamond-Si.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and relies on computational models. Experimental validation is needed to confirm the predicted properties and applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
First-principle density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) in the form of Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE) was used. The phonon frequencies were calculated using the PHONOPY code, with forces calculated by density functional perturbation theory (DFPT).
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
The study focused on three novel three-dimensional (3D) sp3 bonding networks named hP24, hP30, and hP36 for carbon and silicon.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
MedeA Vienna ab initio simulation package (MedeA-VASP) was used for simulations.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
The Brillouin zones were sampled with Monkhorst-Pack (MP) special k-point grids. The convergence criteria for the self-consistency and forces calculations were 1 × 10-6 eV/atom and 0.001 eV/?, respectively.
5:Data Analysis Methods
The electronic band structures were calculated utilizing the Heyd–Scuseria–Ernzerhf (HSE06) hybrid functional. Optical properties were computed using Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) on top of the partial self-consistent GW0 calculation.
