Abstract:The first-principles calculations based on density functional theory combined with cluster expansion techniques and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations were used to study the phase diagrams of both wurtzite (WZ) and zinc-blende (ZB) Cd 1−x Zn x S alloys. All formation energies are positive for WZ and ZB Cd 1−x Zn x S alloys, which means that the Cd 1−x Zn x S alloys are unstable and have a tendency to phase separation. For WZ and ZB Cd 1−x Zn x S alloys, the consolute temperatures are 655 K and 604 K, respectively, a… Show more
