Summary
Monte Carlo simulations and the full‐potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP‐LAPW) method in the framework of density functional theory (DFT) are applied to investigate the quantum efficiency, ferroelectric, and photovoltaic properties. We have used the generalized Perdew Burke Ernzerhof gradient approximation (PBE‐GGA) as well as the Becke‐Johnson modified exchange potential (TB‐mBJ) to correct the gap's energy. The gap energy results of 2.5 eV obtained using mBJ are reasonable compared to the available experimental data (2.5 eV). The difference energy ∆E between the magnetic configurations EFM and EAFM of Fe was calculated. The BiFeO3 possesses the insulating ground state and G‐type antiferromagnetic ordering. The value of the magnetic moment was compared with the values obtained using experience and theory. The quantum efficiency (EQE), the short‐circuit current and open circuit voltage are investigated using ab‐initio calculations. The polarization, dielectric susceptibility and hysteresis loops are investigated using the Monte Carlo simulations for several thin films of BiFeO3.
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.
