First principles study the influence of copper-vacancy on electronic, mechanical and thermal properties of CuGaTe2

The influence of vacancy on electronic, mechanical and thermal properties of CuGaTe2 are investigated by first-principle calculations. The calculated formation energies are found to be lowest for vacancy at Cu site. The electronic properties display the energy gap, effective mass and density of stat...
