The objective is to explore the electronic properties and band gap energies of the homologous series of compounds.
Investigated a series of Bi-S compounds with varying structural forms and compositions.
Measured and compared band gap energies of the compounds.
Discovered similar band gap energies of 1.27 eV and 1.19 eV in structurally distinct compounds.
Demonstrated that 3D networks of Bi-S polyhedra influence electronic properties.
Abstract
, where the 3D networks of Bi-S polyhedra result in similar band gap energies of 1.27 and 1.19 eV, respectively, despite the compounds being structurally distinct.
