Unveiling Novel Direct Bandgap Allotropes of Germanium: A Computational Exploration

Germanium crystallizes in a cubic diamond structure, which restricts its applications in optoelectronics due to its indirect band gap. However, the slight energy difference between the direct and indirect band gaps in germanium presents a promising opportunity to engineer its structure into a direct...
