Multiband Semimetallic Electronic Structure of Superconducting Ta2PdSe5
نویسنده
چکیده
We report the electronic structure and related properties of the superconductor Ta2PdSe5 as determined from density functional calculations. The Fermi surface has two disconnected sheets, both derived from bands of primarily chalcogenide p states. These are a corrugated hole cylinder and a heavier complex shaped electron sheet. The sheets contain 0.048 holes and a compensating number of electrons per formula unit, making the material a semimetallic superconductor. The results support the presence of two band superconductivity, although a discrepancy in the specific heat is noted. This discrepancy is discussed as a possible consequence of Pd deficiency in samples.

Phase diagram of the layered oxide SnO: GW and electron-phonon studies
First-principles calculations are performed to study the electronic properties and the electron-phonon interactions of the layered oxide semiconductor SnO. In addition to the high hole mobility that makes SnO a promising material in electronics, it has recently been reported that the semimetallic phase under pressure is superconducting. The superconducting Tc curve exhibits a dome-like feature ...

متن کاملImpact of electron-hole correlations on the 1T-TiSe_{2} electronic structure.
Several experiments have been performed on 1T-TiSe_{2} in order to identify whether the electronic structure is semimetallic or semiconducting without reaching a consensus. In this Letter, we theoretically study the impact of electron-hole and electron-phonon correlations on the bare semimetallic and semiconducting electronic structure. The resulting electron spectral functions provide a direct...
متن کاملSymmetry induced semimetal-semiconductor transition in doped graphene
Substitutional chemical doping is one way of introducing an electronic bandgap in otherwise semimetallic graphene. A small change in dopant arrangement can convert graphene from a semiconducting to a semimetallic state. Based on ab initio Density Functional Theory calculations, we discuss the electron structure of BN-doped graphene with Bravais and non-Bravais lattice-type defect patterns, iden...
