Dielectric Behavior as a Screen in Rational Searches for Electronic Materials: Metal Pnictide Sulfosalts.
Journal of the American Chemical Society 2018 December 6
Dielectric screening plays an important role in reducing the strength of carrier scattering and trapping by point defects for many semiconductors such as the halide perovskite solar materials. However, it was rarely considered as a screen to find new electronic semiconductors. We performed a material search study using the dielectric properties as a screen to identify potential electronic materials in the class of metal-pnictide ternary sulfosalts, containing Bi or Sb. These salts are basically ionic due to the electronegativity difference between both the S and both the metal and pnictogen elements. However, we do find significant cross-gap hybridization between the S p derived valence bands and pnictogen p derived conduction bands in many of the materials. This leads to enhanced Born effective charges, and in several cases, highly enhanced dielectric constants. We find a chemical rule for high dielectric constant in terms of the bond connectivity of the pnictogen-chalcogen part of the crystal structure. We additionally find a series of compounds with low effective mass, high dielectric constant and other properties that suggest good performance as electronic materials, and also several potential thermoelectric compounds. Experimental optical data and solar conversion efficiency are reported for Sn-Sb-S samples and results in accord with predicted good performance are found. The results illustrate the utility of dielectric properties as a screen for identifying complex semiconductors.
