First-principle calculations of the electronic, optical and elastic properties of ZnSiP2 semiconductor

Thermoelectric properties of zinc based pnictide semiconductors

“…Ternary chalcopyrite semiconductors and pnictide compounds of the form ABC 2 have attracted researchers because of their special physical properties like high melting point, high refractive index, high nonlinear optical susceptibility, and many more. [4][5][6] Because of the above mentioned diverse properties, both the chalcopyrites and pnictides are identified as promising materials for different device applications like electronic devices, 7 nonlinear optical devices, 8,9 photovoltaic cell, 10 thermoelectric applications, 11 etc. These materials crystallize in the tetragonal structure with space group I 42d and are considered as the ternary analogue of zinc blende structure.…”
