Fully analytic valence force fields for the relaxation of group-IV semiconductor alloys: elastic properties of group-IV materials calculated from first principles
Daniel S. P. Tanner, Christopher A. Broderick, Amy C. Kirwan +2
SiGe(C,Sn,Pb) alloys have attracted significant attention as a route to achieve a direct-gap group-IV semiconductor. Using density functional theory (DFT) - e…
Impact of band-anticrossing on band-to-band tunneling in highly-mismatched semiconductor alloys
Sarita Das, Christopher A. Broderick, Eoin P. O'Reilly
We theoretically analyse band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) in highly-mismatched, narrow-gap dilute nitride and bismide alloys, and quantify the impact of the N- or Bi-induced perturbat…
Impact of stoichiometry and strain on GeSn alloys from first principles calculations
Conor O'Donnell, Alfonso Sanchez-Soares, Christopher A. Broderick +1
We calculate the electronic structure of germanium-tin (GeSn) binary alloys for using density functional theory (DFT). Relaxed alloys with semicondu…
Electronic properties of type-II GaAsSb/GaAs quantum rings for applications in intermediate-band solar cells
Reza Arkani, Christopher A. Broderick, Eoin P. O'Reilly
We present a theoretical analysis of the electronic properties of type-II GaAsSb/GaAs quantum rings (QRs), from the perspective of applications in intermediate band s…
Electronic structure evolution in dilute carbide GeC alloys and implications for device applications
Christopher A. Broderick, Michael D. Dunne, Daniel S. P. Tanner +1
We present a theoretical analysis of electronic structure evolution in the highly-mismatched dilute carbide group-IV alloy GeC. For ordered alloy supercells, we demon…
First principles analysis of electronic structure evolution and the indirect- to direct-gap transition in GePb group-IV alloys
Christopher A. Broderick, Edmond J. O'Halloran, Eoin P. O'Reilly
We present a theoretical analysis of electronic structure evolution in the group-IV alloy GePb based on density functional theory. For ordered alloy supercells we dem…
