for changing any specific value in the parameter file, where can I change the value? example if i want to change the work function of the gate material, where will i have to make changes?
If you want to change the work function of a material, you may need to modify the electronic structure of the material. This can be achieved through a variety of methods, including chemical doping, ion implantation, and surface modification. These methods typically involve introducing foreign atoms or molecules into the material, which can alter the electronic structure and therefore the work function.
In terms of modifying parameter files, this may depend on the specific software or simulation method being used to study the material. For example, in electronic structure calculations using density functional theory (DFT), the work function can be calculated using the difference in energy between the Fermi level and the vacuum level. In this case, modifying the input parameters of the DFT calculation, such as the exchange-correlation functional or the k-point mesh, may influence the calculated work function.
It's important to note that changing the work function of a material can have significant implications for its electronic properties and may require additional experimental and theoretical characterization.
