Feasibility of band gap engineering of pyrite FeS₂

We use first-principles computations to investigate whether the band gap of pyrite FeS₂ can be increased by alloying in order to make it a more effective photovoltaic material. In addition to the isostructural compounds that have a larger band gap (ZnS₂, RuS₂, OsS₂), we evaluate non-rare-earth isova...
