Strain Effects on the Electronic and Optical Properties of Kesterite Cu<sub>2</sub>ZnGeX<sub>4</sub> (X = S, Se): First-Principles Study

Following the chronological stages of calculations imposed by the WIEN2K code, we have performed a series of density functional theory calculations, from which we were able to study the effect of strain on the kesterite structures for two quaternary semiconductor compounds Cu<inline-formula>&l...
