Database on the bandgap of inorganic substances and materials

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research Aims and scope

Abstract

A database (DB) on the bandgap of inorganic substances available via the Internet (http://bg.imet-db.ru) was developed for the information service of specialists in the sphere of inorganic chemistry and materials science. The DB is integrated with other information systems on the properties of inorganic substances and materials, which provides the search of a wide range of parameters of a specific substance. The possibility of the use of the information from the developed DB for the search of relations between the bandgap width and other parameters of thermoelectric materials and for predicting the bandgap of chalcopyrites is considered.
