Selenium is a crucial earth-abundant and non-toxic semiconductor with a wide range of applications across the semiconductor industries. Selenium has drawn attention from scientific communities for its wide range of applicability: from photovoltaics to imaging devices. Its usage as a photosensitive material largely involves the synthesis of the amorphous phase (a-Se) via various experimental techniques. However, the ground state crystalline phase of this material, known as the trigonal selenium (textit{t}-Se), is not extensively studied for its optimum electronic and optical properties. In this work, we present density functional theory (DFT) based systematic studies on the ultra-thin $(10overline{1}0)$ surface slabs of textit{t}-Se. We report the surface energies, work function, electronic and optical properties as a function of number of layers for $(10overline{1}0)$ surface slabs to access its suitability for applications as a photosensitive material.
We report on the heteroepitaxial stabilization of YCrO3 ultra-thin films on LSAT (001) substrate. Using a combination of resonant X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and atomic multiplet cluster calculation, the electronic structure of YCrO3 thin fil
The electronic band structure and elastic properties of the Cd${}_{16}$Se${}_{15}$Te solid state solution in the framework of the density functional theory calculations are investigated. The structure of the sample is constructed on the original bina
The performance of perovskite solar cells recently exceeded 15% solar-to-electricity conversion efficiency for small-area devices. The fundamental properties of the active absorber layers, hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites formed from mixing metal
Using first-principles calculations within the generalized gradient approximation, we predicted the lattice parameters, elastic constants, vibrational properties, and electronic structure of cementite (Fe3C). Its nine single-crystal elastic constants
We study adsorption sites of a single Xe adatom on Nb(110) surface using a density functional theory approach: The on-top site is the most favorable position for the adsorption. We compare the binding features of the present study to earlier studies
