Abstract

A full potential all-electron density functional method within generalized gradient approximation is used herein to investigate correlations of the electronic, elastic and thermo-electric transport properties of cubic copper sulphide and copper selenide. The electronic band structure and density of states suggest a metallic behaviour with a zero-energy band gap for both materials. Elastic property calculations suggest stiff materials, with bulk to shear modulus ratios of 0.35 and 0.44 for Cu2S and Cu2Se, respectively. Thermo-electric transport properties were estimated using the Boltzmann transport approach. The Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and power factor all suggest a potential p-type conductivity for α-Cu2S and n-type conductivity for α-Cu2Se.

阿尔法硫化铜和硒化铜的电子、弹性和热电性能的相关性
本文采用广义梯度近似的全电势全电子密度泛函法,研究了立方硫化铜和硒化铜的电子、弹性和热电传输特性的相关性。电子能带结构和状态密度表明这两种材料都具有零能带隙的金属特性。弹性特性计算表明,Cu2S 和 Cu2Se 材料都很坚硬,体积与剪切模量比分别为 0.35 和 0.44。热电传输特性是采用波尔兹曼传输方法估算的。塞贝克系数、电导率、热导率和功率因数都表明,α-Cu2S 具有潜在的 p 型传导性,而 α-Cu2Se 具有 n 型传导性。
