First-principles calculations to investigate the elastic, electronic, dynamical, and optical properties of cubic ZrCoAs half-Heusler semiconductor for photovoltaic applications

The electronic, mechanical, elastic, dynamical, and optical properties of the ZrCoAs half-Heusler compound have been systematically investigated using the plane wave self-consistent field approach with the Perdew-Burke-Erzerhof generalized gradient approximation (GGA-PBE) exchange-correlation functi...
