The discussion centers on the search for comprehensive databases of experimental semiconductor bandgap information to compare with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations from the Materials Project and the Open Quantum Materials Database (OQMD). Participants recommend the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics as a reliable source for experimental bandgap data. The inquiry highlights the need for extensive datasets, as both the Materials Project and OQMD contain thousands of entries, emphasizing the importance of thorough data for accurate comparisons.
PREREQUISITESResearchers, materials scientists, and engineers focused on semiconductor physics, particularly those comparing experimental data with theoretical models in DFT calculations.
Yes, I've seen it. I was hoping for extensive datasets since MP and OQMD have thousands of listings. Thanks nonethelessGrinkle said:
