Prediction of Tunable Spin-Orbit Gapped Materials for Dark Matter Detection
Katherine Inzani, Alireza Faghaninia, Sinéad M. Griffin
New ideas for low-mass dark matter direct detection suggest that narrow band gap materials, such as Dirac semiconductors, are sensitive to the absorption of meV dark matter or the…
Efficient calculation of carrier scattering rates from first principles
Alex M. Ganose, Junsoo Park, Alireza Faghaninia +3
The electronic transport behaviour of materials determines their suitability for technological applications. We develop an efficient method for calculating carrier scattering rates…
ab initio Electronic Transport Model with Explicit Solution to the Linearized Boltzmann Transport Equation
Alireza Faghaninia, Joel W. Ager, Cynthia S. Lo
Accurate models of carrier transport are essential for describing the electronic properties of semiconductor materials. To the best of our knowledge, the current models following t…
Enhanced Thermoelectric Efficiency via Orthogonal Electrical and Thermal Conductances in Phosphorene
Ruixiang Fei, Alireza Faghaninia, Ryan Soklaski +3
Thermoelectric devices that utilize the Seebeck effect convert heat flow into electrical energy and are highly desirable for the development of portable, solid state, passively-pow…
Electronic transport calculations for lightly-doped thermoelectrics using density functional theory: Application to high-performing Cu-doped zinc antimonides
Alireza Faghaninia, Cynthia S. Lo
We propose a new method for accurately calculating electrical transport properties of a lightly-doped thermoelectric material from density functional theory (DFT) calculations, bas…
