Enhanced optical properties of <i>β</i>-Ga₂O₃-_<em>x</em>S_<em>x</em>S: A DFT study by G.B. Eshonqulov (22927297)

“…Here, we conduct systematic density functional theory calculations to study the effect of sulfur doping on the electronic and optical properties of <i>β</i>-Ga₂O₃. We find that the band gap of the material decreases with increasing sulfur content (from 4.81 eV to 1.59 eV), accompanied by symmetric shifts in both the valence-band offset and the conduction-band edge. …”
