Structural and electronic features enabling delocalized charge-carriers in CuSbSe 2 by Fu, Y, Lohan, H, Righetto, M, Huang, Y, Kavanagh, SR, Cho, C, Zelewski, SJ, Woo, YW, Demetriou, H, McLachlan, MA, Heutz, S, Piot, BA, Scanlon, DO, Rao, A, Herz, LM, Walsh, A, Hoye, RLZ

“…Using a combination of theory and experiment, the critical enabling factors are found to be: 1) having a layered structure, which allows distortions to the unit cell during the propagation of an acoustic wave to be relaxed in the interlayer gaps, with minimal changes in bond length, thus limiting deformation potentials; 2) favourable quasi-bonding interactions across the interlayer gap giving rise to higher electronic dimensionality; 3) Born effective charges not being anomalously high, which, combined with the small bandgap (≤1.2 eV), result in a low ionic contribution to the dielectric constant compared to the electronic contribution, thus reducing the strength of Fröhlich coupling. …”
