can annyone help me about how I can calculate the affinity of the ternary GaAsBi alloy ??
Hi,
The Electron affinity is a measure of how much energy is released when an electron is gained by a certain atom, conversely, it is also the amount of energy required in order to detach the electron from the other atom.
Thank you Mr D.N.Son For your answer;
No I do not use the VASP package, I just need the parameters of the ternary alloy to modulate a structure of a photovoltaic solar cell based on GaAsBi quantum dot in Silvaco Atlas.
Every property of an alloy can be estimated by using linear interpolation.
For AxB(1-x)C alloy
affinity = x*affinity(AC) + (1-x)*affinity(BC)
but this will not give much accuracy. Because there exists a bowing parameter which depends on some other properties. But one can use this when no other option is avilable
