  3. Introduction

  4. Electron-phonon interaction If attractive interaction between electrons exist, electrons near the Fermi surface form Cooper pair, and fall into lower energy. The attraction is attributed to an “electron-phonon interaction” + Cooper pair

  14. Purpose • Calculate electron-phonon interaction λ and superconducting critical temperatureTCof CuAlS2 based on rigid band model and Allen-Dynes formula • Compare delafossite structure (two dimensional) CuAlO2 with chalcopyrite structure (three dimensional) CuAlS2

  15. Crystal structure of CuAlS2 • Chalcopyrite structure • tetrahedral coordination • semiconductor Cu Al S

  16. Computational method-electric structure & phonon dispersion- • Quantum-Espresso code • Based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) • Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) • Ultra-soft pseudo potential • 8×8×8 k-point grid (electron) 8×8×8 q-point grid (phonon) • Cut-off energy for wave function is 40 [Ry] • Cut-off energy for charge density is 320 [Ry]

  17. Band dispersion Energy = 0 is Valence Band Maximum (VBM) Eg=1.65 [eV] Γ Γ *U.P. Verma , Per Jensen , Monika Sharma , Poonam Singh: Computational and Theoretical Chemistry 975 (2011) 122–127 **J.E. Jaffe, A. Zunger, Phys. Rev. B 28 (1983) 5822

  18. Density of states (DOS) Energy zero is the top of the valence band Maximum (VBM).

  19. Density of states (DOS) anti-bonding state (Cu 3dεand S 3p) bonding state (Cu 3dεand S3p) non bonding state (Cu3dγ) Energy zero is the top of the valence band Maximum (VBM).

  20. Phonon dispersion Γ Γ

  21. Phonon dispersion CuAlO2 (Delafossite structure) CuAlS2 (Chalcopyrite structure) Γ Γ S atom is heavier than O atom → Max phonon frequency of CuAlS2 lower than that of CuAlO2

  22. Summary • I introduce Allen-Dynes formula. • I introduce previous work. CuAlO2 has based on rigid band model. • I show results of band dispersion ,DOS ,and phonon dispersion of CuAlS2

  23. Future plan • I will calculate TC vs. number of holes about CuAlS2 • I will consider difference of dimensionality and Tc • I will calculate other chalcopyrite structures. CuAlS2 CuGaS2 AgAlS2 AuAlS2 CuInS2
