“…14 Normconserving pseudopotentials for Sn, Ge, and S are generated with the APE pseudopotential generator. 15 The states treated as valence in Ge, Sn, and S were the 4s 2 4p 2 states, the 5s 2 5p 2 states, and the 3s 2 3p 4 states, respectively. For calculations on bulk SnS and GeS, the wavefunctions are expanded in plane waves with a kinetic energy cutoff of 50 Ry.…”

We perform first principles, density-functional-theory calculations of the electronic structure for the layered bulk materials SnS and GeS which are of interest for photovoltaic applications. Band gap corrections are computed within the GW approximation to the electron self-energy. The resulting quasiparticle gaps in both SnS and GeS are in excellent agreement with the majority of existing experimental measurements. In order to better understand the possible use of GeS layers as a carrier-confining barrier within a SnS-based photovoltaic device, we compute the band offsets for different orientations of a SnS/GeS heterojunction. We find the valence band offsets to be almost independent of interfacial direction while the conduction band offsets show a strong anisotropy as a result of the variation in the band gap caused by epitaxial strain along the different directions.

The central quantity of density functional theory is the so-called exchange-correlation functional. This quantity encompasses all non-trivial many-body effects of the ground-state and has to be approximated in any practical application of the theory. For the past 50 years, hundreds of such approximations have appeared, with many successfully persisting in the electronic structure community and literature. Here, we present a library that contains routines to evaluate many of these functionals (around 180) and their derivatives.

“…In that case, we describe the electron-ion interactions, V ions (r, R, t), with Troullier-Martins pseudopotentials [42] in the KleinmanBylander form [43]. The pseudopotentials were generated using the Atomic Pseudopotential Engine (APE) [44]. All calculations are carried out using the dipole approximation.…”

Ionization of acetylene by linearly-polarized, vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) laser pulses is modelled using timedependent density functional theory. Several laser wavelengths are considered including one that produces direct ionization to the first excited cationic state while another excites the molecules to a Rydberg series incorporating an autoionizing state. We show that for the wavelengths and intensities considered, ionization is greatest whenever the molecule is aligned along the laser polarization direction. By considering high harmonic generation we show that populating excited states can lead to a large enhancement in the harmonic yield. Lastly, angularly-resolved photoelectron spectra are calculated which show how the energy profile of the emitted electrons significantly changes in the presence of these excited states.
