Description

This paper reports first principle investigations of structural and electronic properties of both bulk and superlattice (SL) systems of cuprous halides. The obtained structural data for bulks compares well with literature while data for SL is not compared because unavailable (to our knowledge). The electronic structure of bulks and also of (001) and (110) growth axis superlattices (SLs) are calculated and it is shown that at the reverse of the IV-IV and III-V systems, the (110) growth axis impacts the electronic structure which indicates a great influence of the d-orbital.
