Band-gap narrowing in ordered and disordered semiconductor alloys

Journal Article Solar Energy Research Institute, Golden, Colorado 80401 - Applied Physics Letters; (USA)

Either spontaneous or artificial ordering of semiconductor alloys into CuAu-like, chalcopyrite, or CuPt-like structures is predicted to be accompanied by a reduction in the direct band gaps relative to the average over the binaries. In this letter calculated results are presented for seven III-V and II-VI alloys. We identify the mechanism for this band-gap narrowing as band folding followed by repulsion between the folded states. The latter is coupled by the non-zinc-blende component of the superlattice potential. The same physical mechanism (but to a different extent) is responsible for gap bowing in {ital disordered} alloys.
Origin of Pronounced Nonlinear Band Gap Behavior in Lead–Tin Hybrid Perovskite Alloys

Journal Article Goyal, Anuj ; McKechnie, Scott ; Pashov, Dimitar ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

Mixed lead-tin hybrid perovskite alloy CH₃NH₃(Pb_1-xSn_x)I₃ attracted significant attention lately because of the reduction of its band gap below both end compounds, which makes it a promising bottom cell material in all-perovskite tandem solar cells. The effect is a consequence of a strongly nonlinear dependence of the alloy band gap on chemical composition. Here, we use electronic structure calculations at different levels of theory (density functional theory (DFT), hybrid DFT, and QSGW, with and without spin-orbit interactions) to investigate the presently elusive origin of this effect. Contrary to current conflicting studies, our results show that neither spin-orbit interactions nor themore »« less

Wide Band Gap Chalcogenide Semiconductors

Journal Article Woods-Robinson, Rachel ; Han, Yanbing ; Zhang, Hanyu ; ... - Chemical Reviews

Wide band gap semiconductors are essential for today’s electronic devices and energy applications because of their high optical transparency, controllable carrier concentration, and tunable electrical conductivity. The most intensively investigated wide band gap semiconductors are transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), such as tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) and amorphous In–Ga–Zn–O (IGZO), used in displays and solar cells, carbides (e.g., SiC) and nitrides (e.g., GaN) used in power electronics, and emerging halides (e.g., γ-CuI) and 2D electronic materials (e.g., graphene) used in various optoelectronic devices. Compared to these prominent materials families, chalcogen-based (Ch = S, Se, Te) wide band gap semiconductors are lessmore »« less
