Strain-assisted band gap modulation in intrinsic and aluminum doped p-type SiC

The uniaxial strain-induced electronic structure variations in intrinsic and Al doped (3C-, 4H-) SiC are studied by using first-principle calculations. The main findings are summarized as follows: (I) the tensile strain leads to a structural transformation in Al doped 3C-SiC, which is signed by the...
