Bi-S network origin of cation-disorder stability and dispersive band edges in AgBiS2

Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cation-disordered AgBiS2 is a promising lead-free optoelectronic material, but both its ordered structure and the microscopic origin of its favorable electronic properties remain debated. Theory has proposed a mixed-coordination tendency with tetrahedral AgS4 and octahedral BiS6 units, whereas experiments mainly report octahedrally coordinated ordered and cation-disordered phases, together with local cation off-centering. Here, we combine a machine-learning...
