Discussion Overview
The discussion centers on finding experimental bandgap information for semiconductors to compare with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations from the Materials Project and the Open Quantum Materials Database (OQMD). Participants seek recommendations for extensive datasets.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant requests recommendations for experimental bandgap databases to compare with DFT calculations from the Materials Project and OQMD.
- Another participant suggests a Wikipedia page listing semiconductor materials, but the requester indicates that they are looking for more extensive datasets.
- A later reply mentions the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics as a potential source for experimental bandgap information.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants have not reached a consensus on the best databases, and multiple suggestions have been made without agreement on their adequacy.
Contextual Notes
The discussion reflects a need for comprehensive datasets, but there is no indication of the completeness or reliability of the suggested sources.
