Wu-Cohen (WC), PBE for solids (PBEsol) and Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) generalized gradient approximations (GGA) were also used to calculate the exchange-correlation and electronic band gap energies. The composition effect on lattice constants is analyzed. In addition, we found that the calculated band structures show that the crystal is a semiconductor with a direct band gap, and the contribution of Zn-3d and O-2p is prominent in the density of states (DOS). The dielectric function, refractive index, optical reflectivity, absorption and optical conductivity are predicted. Furthermore, the binary compound results are in agreement with existing experimental and theoretical values. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. | Source Title: | Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/96656 | ISSN: | 13698001 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.mssp.2013.10.031 |
