Ab initio study of binary pnictides and halides for the identification of transparent p-type conducting materials — •Hendrik Wiebeler, Kormath Raghupathy Ramya, Hossein Mirhosseini, and Thomas D. Kühne — Department of Chemistry, University Paderborn, Germany

Transparent conducting materials (TCMs) have received attention owing to their wide range of applications from solar cells to transparent electronics[1]. Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) have been predominantly commercialized as n-type TCMs. In contrast to this, the performance of p-type TCOs is not satisfactory, due to the nature of their valence bands. Hence, in this work, ab initio calculations were employed to identify high-performance p-type semiconductors[2]. Materials having wide band gaps (Eg) and low hole effective masses (mh) are promising p-type TCMs. Therefore, non-toxic and non-expensive binary semiconductors with Eg > 1.7 eV and mh < 1 were considered. The role of intrinsic and extrinsic point defects was explored to determine the p-type performance.
