First-principle study of electronic, optical and transport properties for A₂CdB₄ (A = Sc, Y; B = S, Se) spinel chalcogenides under strain condition

Researchers have conducted first-principle calculations to investigate the electronic, optical, and transport properties of spinel chalcogenide compounds containing Scandium (Sc) or Yttrium (Y). The study specifically examined these properties under various strain conditions. The findings provide insights into how mechanical stress influences the behavior of these materials.

Understanding these properties under strain is crucial for developing new electronic and optoelectronic devices that can withstand mechanical stress.
