Abstract:The electronic structure and the optical properties of Ca 2 Ge have been calculated by the first-principles pseudo potential method. The results of the electric structure show that Ca 2 Ge bulk is a direct semiconductor with the band gap of 0.306 eV, the conduction band is mainly composed of Ca 3d, the valence band is mainly composed of Ge 3p. With Sr-doping, Ca 2 Ge bulk is a direct semiconductor with the band gap of 0.350 eV, the conduction bands are mainly composed of Ca 3d and Sr 3d, the valence bands are … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
