Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic structure of the ternary pnictide semiconductors ZnSiP 2 , ZnGeP 2 , ZnSnP 2 , ZnSiAs 2 , and MgSiP 2
John E. Jaffe,Alex Zunger +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of all-electron, non-empirical self-consistent studies of the electronic structure of I-III-VI2 chalcopyrite-structure ternary pnictides were described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixed-basis cluster expansion for thermodynamics of bcc alloys
Volker Blum,Alex Zunger +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the mixed-basis cluster expansion (MBCE) method was used to predict the ground-state structures and finite-temperature properties of an alloy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface-induced ordering in GaInP.
Sverre Froyen,Alex Zunger +1 more
TL;DR: Using first-principles total-energy calculations, it is shown that a novel electronically driven surface reconstruction provides a driving force for such ordering in Ga 0.5 In 1.5 P alloys.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymorphous nature of cubic halide perovskites
TL;DR: In this paper, a minimization of the systems internal energy via density functional theory reveals a distribution of different low-symmetry local motifs, including tilting, rotations, and B-atom displacements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and discovery of a novel half-Heusler transparent hole conductor made of all-metallic heavy elements
Feng Yan,Xiuwen Zhang,Yonggang G. Yu,Liping Yu,Arpun R. Nagaraja,Thomas O. Mason,Alex Zunger +6 more
TL;DR: The search theoretically for electronic structures that simultaneously lead to optical transparency while accommodating intrinsic defect structures that produce uncompensated free holes leads to the prediction of a stable, never before synthesized TaIrGe compound made of all-metal heavy atom compound.
