摘要
Assessment of band gaps for nine alkaline-earth chalcogenides namely MX (M = Ca, Sr, Ba and X = S, Se Te) compounds are reported using Tran Blaha-modified Becke Johnson (TB-mBJ) potential and its new parameterization. From the computed electronic band structures at the equilibrium lattice constants, these materials are found to be indirect band gap semiconductors at ambient conditions. The calculated band gaps are improved using TB-mBJ and its new parameterization when compared to local density approximation (LDA) and Becke Johnson potentials. We also observe that TB-mBJ new parameterization for semiconductors below 7 eV reproduces the experimental trends very well for the small band gap semiconducting alkaline-earth chalcogenides. The calculated band profiles look similar for MX compounds (electronic band structures are provided for BaS for representation purpose) using LDA and new parameterization of TB-mBJ potentials.
