Electronic structure of Ag8GeS6

For the first time, the energy band structure, total and partial densities of states of Ag8GeS6 crystal were calculated using the ab initio density functional method in LDA and LDA+U approximations. Argyrodite is direct-gap semiconductor with the calculated band gap width Egd = 1.46 eV in the LDA+U...
