We have performed single crystal angle dispersive X-ray diffraction at high pressure in order to investigate the GaS and InSe equations of state.

“…To account for the weak interaction, the DFT-D2 approach was utilized [23], yielding the optimized lattice constants of bulk β-GaS of a = 3.584 Å and c = 15.554 Å, which are in excellent agreement with the experimental values (a = 3.585 Å and c = 15.530 Å) [24]. The calculated bond lengths of Ga-Ga and Ga-S are 2.439 and 2.346 Å, respectively, which also agree remarkably well with the experimental results [24]. The optimized structural parameters of bulk β-GaS are listed in Table 1.…”
Section: The Geometrical Structures Of 2d β-Gasmentioning
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are highly promising for flexible electronics, and graphene is the only well-studied transparent conductor. Herein, density functional theory has been used to explore a new transparent conducting material via adsorption of H on a 2D β-GaS sheet. This adsorption results in geometrical changes to the local structures around the H. The calculated electronic structures reveal metallic characteristics of the 2D β-GaS material upon H adsorption and a large optical band gap of 2.72 eV with a significant Burstein-Moss shift of 0.67 eV. The simulated electrical resistivity is as low as 10 -4 Ω·cm, comparable to the benchmark for ITO thin films.
In this paper we review some recent results on the electronic structure of III − VI layered semiconductors and its dependence under pressure, stressing the specific features that differentiate their behaviour from that of tetrahedrally coordinated semiconductors. We will focus on several unexpected results that have led to changes in the image that was currently accepted a few years ago. Intralayer bond angles change under pressure and the layer "thickness" remains virtually constant or increases. As a consequence, models based in intra-and inter-layer deformation potentials fail in explaining the low pressure nonlinearity of the band gap. Numerical-atomic-orbital/density-functional-theory electronic structure calculations allow for an interpretation of the evolution of the absorption edge under pressure. In particular, they show how the structure of the non-degenerated valence band maximum in InSe becomes more complex under pressure leading to a non-conventional direct-to-indirect crossover. The valence band maximum in InSe above 4 GPa exhibits a quite singular feature: a "ring-shaped" constant energy surface and, consequently, a density of states depending on energy as in 2D electronic systems.
