Abstract

CuGaS2 as a ternary semiconductor with chalcopyrite structure has a direct bang-gap of 2.43 eV at room temperature corresponding to the wavelength of 0.51 ?m, it is a promising absorption layer for photovoltaic material. In this work, convergence of the plane wave cut-off energy and the K-mesh were carried out based on first-principle of density functional theory, using VASP package. Lattice constants were optimized by convergence parameters, and the energy band-gap under generalized gradient approximation was calculated by setting convergence parameters and optimized lattice constants. The results indicate that CuGaS2 has an energy band-gap of 0.784 eV. The calculating results play a guiding role in doping Ga to CuInS2 to adjust energy band-gap.
