Abstract
The present work is a theoretical study of the structural and spin-polarized dependent optoelectronic thermoelectric properties of the melilite-typeGd2Be2GeO7 compound, using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave approach in the framework of density functional theory. The predicted structural parameters are in good accordance with the measured counterparts. It is found that the title compound is more stable in the ferromagnetic order than in the non-magnetic order. The calculated band structure using the modified Becke–Johnson potential reveals that the studied compound has a wide bandgap of 3.78 eV. The frequency-dependent linear optical spectra are studied in an energy range expanding from 0 to 30 eV. Finally, the semi classical Boltzmann theory as incorporated in the Boltztrap code is used to study the spin-polarized dependent transport properties. The obtained results show that Gd2Be2GeO7 is a potential candidate for conversion energy device applications.
