First-principles study of the stability, electronic and optical properties of CdTe under hydrostatic pressure

Diwen Liu et al.

Summary: In this study, the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the stability, electronic, and optical properties of CdTe was systematically investigated using density functional theory (DFT). The calculations showed that CdTe remains dynamically stable at high pressure, with an increased band gap and reduced optical absorption coefficient in the visible light region. These findings are consistent with previous experimental results and indicate CdTe's potential for application in stable and high-efficiency thin-film solar cells.

Ab initio prediction of semiconductivity in a novel two-dimensional Sb2X3 (X= S, Se, Te) monolayers with orthorhombic structure

A. Bafekry et al.

Summary: In this study, the atomic lattice, electronic, and optical properties of Sb2S3, Sb2Se3 and Sb2Te3 monolayers were explored using density functional theory simulations, revealing their thermal and dynamical stability as well as semiconductor characteristics. Optical simulations showed these nanosheets are suitable for absorbing visible and IR light, with potential application in polarization-sensitive photodetectors. Additionally, electrical transport properties were investigated, showing significant power factor values at optimal doping concentration for all three materials, indicating promising prospects for their application in novel electronic, optical, and energy conversion systems.

Tuning optical and electronic properties of 2D ZnI2/CdS heterostructure by biaxial strains for optical nanodevices: A first-principles study

Mohammed Jassim Abdulameer et al.

Summary: The structural and optoelectronic properties of a ZnI2/CdS vdW heterostructure under biaxial strain were studied using density functional theory. The heterostructure was found to be dynamically and thermally stable, exhibiting type-II band alignment and a transition from indirect to direct bandgap with increasing compressive strain. The optical properties were improved under strain, with absorption coefficient reaching 10(5) cm(-1) and an expansion of absorption capacity observed. This study provides insights for enhancing optical efficiency in photocatalytic and photovoltaic devices.
