“…The complexity affects and drives the performance of ternary semiconductors which enables important technologies including nonlinear optics (Petrov, 2012), thermoelectric generators (Ritz & Peterson, 2004;Cook et al, 2007;Ma et al, 2013) and thin-film photovoltaics (Jackson et al, 2011;Siebentritt, 2017). Density functional theory (DFT) Lyu et al, 2019) and Monte Carlo simulations have been used to characterize this complexity (Wei et al, 1992;Ludwig et al, 2011;Ma et al, 2014;Lany et al, 2017).…”
