Origins of band-gap renormalization in degenerately doped semiconductors

Walsh, Aron, Da Silva, Juarez L. F., Wei, Su-Huai·2008·Physical Review B

Abstract

Degenerate $n$-type doping of semiconductors results in optical band-gap widening through occupation of the conduction band, which is partially offset by the so-called band-gap renormalization. From investigation of the magnitude and origin of these shifts through density-functional band-structure theory, we demonstrate that the key contribution to renormalization arises from the nonparabolic nature of the host conduction band but not the rigid shift of the band edges, as is the current paradigm. Furthermore, the carrier dependence of the band-gap widening is highly sensitive to the electronic states of the dopant ion, which can be involved in a significant reconstruction of the lower conduction band.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
