Transparent conducting materials (TCMs) have been widely used in optoelectronic applications such as touchscreens, flat panel displays and thin film solar cells. These applications of TCMs are currently dominated by n-type doped oxides. High-performance p-type TCMs are still lacking due to their low hole mobility or p-type doping bottleneck, which impedes efficient device design and novel applications such as transparent electronics. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we propose chalcogenide perovskite YScS 3 as a promising p-type TCM. According to our calculations, its optical absorption onset is above 3 eV, which allows transparency to visible light. Its hole conductivity effective mass is 0.48 m 0 , which is among the smallest in p-type TCMs, suggesting enhanced hole mobility. It could be doped to p-type by group-II elements on cation sites, all of which yield shallow acceptors. Combining these properties, YScS 3 holds great prom...

硫族钙钛矿YScS 3作为潜在的p型透明导电材料

透明导电材料（TCM）已广泛用于光电应用中，例如触摸屏，平板显示器和薄膜太阳能电池。TCM的这些应用目前主要由n型掺杂氧化物控制。由于它们的低空穴迁移率或p型掺杂瓶颈，仍然缺少高性能的p型TCM，这阻碍了有效的器件设计和诸如透明电子学的新颖应用。在这里，基于第一性原理的计算，我们提出硫属钙钛矿YScS 3作为有前途的p型中药。根据我们的计算，其光吸收起始点高于3 eV，这使可见光透明。其空穴电导有效质量为0.48 m 0，在p型TCM中最小，表明空穴迁移率提高。可以通过阳离子位点上的II类元素将其掺杂为p型，所有这些元素都会产生浅受体。结合这些特性，YScS 3具有出色的性能。
