How optical band gap of 'Half-Metallic' compounds are related with Band-structure?

From spectroscopic results it has been seen that Half-Metallic compounds may have optical band gap. Band structures of Half-Metals are overlapped by majority (or minority) spin channel. Now how...

Is it necessary to optimize geometry in DFT calculation, when I have crystal structural parameters obtained from Rietveld refinemnet?

Hello I have performed Rietveld refinement of my sample and calculate band gap from UV-Vis spectra. I am interested to calculate electronic structure by DFT to compare my experimental band gap....

Which form of Kubelka-Munk function should I used to calculate band gap of powder sample?

There are many from of Kubelka-Munk function I have found in literature: 1. F= (1-R)2/2R 2. F= (1-R2)/2R 3. F(hv)= (1-R(hv))2/2R(hv) Again to calculate direct band gap some used (Fhv)2 where some...

How electronic band structure is related to optical absorption & why energy gap is different from optical band gap?

How can I explain optical band gap from electronic band structure? My calculated Electronic band gap (1.3 eV) is different from optical band gap (2.1eV). I have seen in some literatures where they...
