Computational screening of materials with extreme gap deformation potentials

Abstract In this work, we present a large-scale study of gap deformation potentials based on density-functional theory calculations for over 5000 semiconductors. As expected, in most cases the band gap decreases for increasing volume with deformation potentials that can reach values of almost −15 eV...
