研究目的
To investigate systematically the electronic, optical and elastic properties of stannite-type Cu2CdGeSe4 using the augmented plane wave + local orbitals method with different approximation functionals.
研究成果
The mBJ + U approximation provides the best fit for calculating the electronic properties of Cu2CdGeSe4, with a band gap of 1.297 eV in good agreement with experimental data. The material's wide absorption spectrum and high absorption coefficient suggest its potential application in solar cells. Elastic properties indicate high ductility.
研究不足
The study is limited by the computational methods and approximations used, which may not fully capture all physical properties of Cu2CdGeSe4. The experimental validation is based on available data, which may not cover all aspects of the material's properties.
