Ab Initio Study of KCuP Material for Photovoltaic Applications
Mwende Mbilo, George S. Manyali, Robinson J. Musembi
Search for efficient materials for application in the fields of optoelectronics and photovoltaics are active areas of research across the world. The potential of compounds such as…
Low Born effective Charges, High Covalency and Strong Optical Activity in BiN (=Ca,Sr,Ba) -perovskites
Jasmine Wakini, Carolyne Songa, Stephen Chege +6
We compute for the first time a complete charge analysis (Bader and Born effective) on BiN (=Ca,Sr,Ba). The crystals show a great electron sharing with l…
Ab initio study of structural properties and dynamical stability of CN encapsulating H guest atom
George S. Manyali
We have investigated the structural properties and dynamical stability of CN hosting hydrogen as a guest atom. The calculations were performed using the density functional…
First-principles study of two-dimensional electron and hole gases at the head-to-head and tail-to-tail 180 domain walls in PbTiO ferroelectric thin films
James Sifuna, Pablo García-Fernández, George S. Manyali +2
We study from first-principles the structural and electronic properties of head-to-head (HH) and tail-to-tail (TT) 180 domain walls in isolated free-standing PbTiO sl…
Comparison of band-fitting and Wannier-based model construction for WSe
James Sifuna, Pablo García-Fernández, George S. Manyali +2
Transition metal dichalcogenide materials are being thoroughly studied due to their novel two-dimensional structure, that is associated with exceptional opti…
Ab initio study on Quasi-Binary Acetonitriletriide Sr[CN]
James Sifuna, George S. Manyali, Elicah Wabululu +3
We report using density functional theory (DFT), the ground-state properties of the recently synthesized and characterized Sr[CN] crystal. The nearly colorless, centros…
