The strain induced band gap modulation from narrow gap semiconductor to half-metal on Ti{sub 2}CrGe: A first principles study

Journal Article Li, Jia ; Research Institute for Energy Equipment Materials, Hebei University of Technology, Tianjin 300401 ; Zhang, Zhidong ; ... - AIP Advances

The Heusler alloy Ti{sub 2}CrGe is a stable L2{sub 1} phase with antiferromagnetic ordering. With band-gap energy (∼ 0.18 eV) obtained from a first-principles calculation, it belongs to the group of narrow band gap semiconductor. The band-gap energy decreases with increasing lattice compression and disappears until a strain of −5%; moreover, gap contraction only occurs in the spin-down states, leading to half-metallic character at the −5% strain. The Ti{sub 1}, Ti{sub 2}, and Cr moments all exhibit linear changes in behavior within strains of −5%– +5%. Nevertheless, the total zero moment is robust for these strains.

Band gap narrowing in zinc oxide-based semiconductor thin films

Journal Article Kumar, Jitendra ; Kumar Srivastava, Amit, E-mail: jkiitk@gmail.com, E-mail: akrsri@gmail.com - Journal of Applied Physics

A simple expression is proposed for the band gap narrowing (or shrinkage) in semiconductors using optical absorption measurements of spin coated 1 at. % Ga-doped ZnO (with additional 0–1.5 at. % zinc species) thin films as ΔE{sub BGN} = Bn{sup 1/3} [1 − (n{sub c}/n){sup 1/3}], where B is the fitting parameter, n is carrier concentration, and n{sub c} is the critical density required for shrinkage onset. Its uniqueness lies in not only describing variation of ΔE{sub BGN} correctly but also allowing deduction of n{sub c} automatically for several M-doped ZnO (M: Ga, Al, In, B, Mo) systems.

The dipole model of narrowing of the energy gap between the Hubbard bands in slightly compensated semiconductors

Journal Article Poklonski, N. A., E-mail: poklonski@bsu.by ; Vyrko, S A ; Zabrodskii, A G - Semiconductors

A model of the narrowing of the energy gap between the Hubbard bands (the A{sup 0} and A{sup +} bands for acceptors and the D{sup 0} and D{sup -} bands for donors) with increasing concentration of hydrogen-like dopants at low concentrations of the compensating impurity is suggested. The width of the impurity bands is assumed to be small compared to the gap between them. It is taken into account that the local Coulomb interaction between the ions of an electric dipole formed as a result of transition of a hole (electron) between two electrically neutral dopant atoms induces a decreasemore »« less
