Predicting band gaps of semiconductors with quantum chemistry
Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung – Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany
Published online: 16 December 2020
The following article gives a brief introduction to quantum chemistry and its application to the prediction of band gaps of inorganic and organic semiconductors. Two important quantum chemistry concepts —Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Coupled Cluster Theory (CC)— are shortly explained. These two concepts are used to calculate the optical and the transport band gap of a set of semiconductors modelled with an electrostatic embedding approach.
