Abstract

We report first principles spin-polarized density functional theory calculations to study the electronic structure of pure and Magnesium doped (replacing Al) CuAlO2 and AgAlO2 transparent conducting oxides in the hexagonal 2H structural phase. Hole effective masses are obtained from the band structure. Additionally, the complex dielectric function is obtained. A discussion of the effects of Mg-doping on the optical properties and its effectiveness in reducing hole effective masses and increasing conductivity is also presented.
