Tuning of electronic and optical properties of a predicted silicon allotrope: Hexagonal silicon -Si

D Zhang, H Niu, Y Li, HM Huang, P Jiang, YL Li - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
The indirect band gap of the diamondlike silicon does not allow direct travel of electrons
between valence band and conduction band edges, which has limited its application and …

Carrier-induced formation of electrically active boron-interstitial clusters in irradiated boron-doped silicon
