Optical absorption in degenerately doped semiconductors: Mott transition or Mahan excitons?
Electron doping turns semiconductors conductive even when they have wide fundamental band gaps. The degenerate electron gas in the lowest conduction-band states, e.g., of a transparent conducting oxide, drastically modifies the Coulomb interaction between the electrons and, hence, the optical properties close to the absorption edge. We describe these effects by developing an ab initio technique...
متن کاملAb Initio Calculation of Excitonic Effects in the Optical Spectra of Semiconductors
An ab initio approach to the calculation of excitonic effects in the optical absorption spectra of semiconductors and insulators is formulated. It starts from a quasiparticle band structure calculation and is based on the relevant Bethe-Salpeter equation. An application to bulk silicon shows a substantial improvement with respect to previous calculations in the description of the experimental s...
متن کاملOptical and fundamental band gaps disparity in transparent conducting oxides: new findings for the and systems
The optical band gap, extracted from absorption measurements, defines the figure of merit for transparent conducting oxides (TCOs). In many oxides, such as In O 2 3 or SnO2, inversion symmetry introduces a selection rule that blocks transitions from the valence-band maximum to the conduction-band minimum. This raises the absorption threshold and enlarges the optical gap relative to the fundamen...
متن کاملOptical and energy-loss spectra of MgO, ZnO, and CdO from ab initio many-body calculations
We compute optical properties including excitonic effects for the equilibrium polymorphs of three group-II metal monoxides by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The underlying electronic structures are based on results of a recently developed GW approach starting from a hybrid exchange-correlation functional. The resulting quasiparticle band structures are discussed with respect to their mapp...
متن کاملPhonon-coupling enhanced absorption of alloyed amorphous silicon for solar photovoltaics
Using the observed temperature dependence of a-Si:H photon absorption spectrum and the weak-phonon interaction second-order transition theory, phonon-coupling enhanced photon absorption is predicted for a-Si-Ge and a-Si-Sn alloys. The ab initio calculated electron and phonon properties of the alloyed amorphous phase show minimally altered electronic states and significant redshifted phonon ener...
