The electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of LaAlO 3 are studied under different pressure ranges (0-40 GPa) by using the full potential linear augmented plane wave method (FP-LAW). Calculations are done by Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof generalized gradient approximation (PBEsol-GGA) by utilizing Wien 2k code. It was observed that with the increase of pressure band gap increased and the nature of band gap transform from indirect to direct. In Optical properties, optical conductivity, refractive index, absorption coefficient, and dielectric function are calculated at different pressures. Thermoelectric properties have been studied at temperature (150-800 K) and pressure (0-40 GPa) by using Boltz Trap code. At 800 K the values of power factor were 6.831 W K −2 . cm. s and 22.13 W K −2 . cm. s, respectively. Figure of merit was achieved up to 0.6. Results revealed that LaAlO 3 is a suitable candidate for optoelectronic and thermoelectric devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
