Intrinsic point defects and the - and -type dopability of the narrow gap semiconductors GaSb and InSb

J. Buckeridge, T. D. Veal, C. R. A. Catlow +1

The presence of defects in the narrow-gap semiconductors GaSb and InSb affects their dopability and hence applicability for a range of optoelectronic applications. Here, we report…

Wannier90 as a community code: new features and applications

Giovanni Pizzi, Valerio Vitale, Ryotaro Arita +28

Wannier90 is an open-source computer program for calculating maximally-localised Wannier functions (MLWFs) from a set of Bloch states. It is interfaced to many widely used electron…

A fast anharmonic free energy method with an application to vacancies in ZrC

Thomas A. Mellan, Andrew I. Duff, Blazej Grabowski +1

We propose an approach to calculate the anharmonic part of the volumetric-strain and temperature dependent free energy of a crystal. The method strikes an effective balance between…

The electronic band structure and optical properties of boron arsenide

John Buckeridge, David O. Scanlon

We compute the electronic band structure and optical properties of boron arsenide using the relativistic quasiparticle self-consistent approach, including electron-hole intera…
