Description
A full potential all-electron density functional method within generalised gradient approximation is used to investigate the electronic structure of copper sulphide. The electronic structure suggest a semi-metallic material with a zero band gap. Elastic calculations suggest a hard material with the bulk to shear modulus ratio of 0.381. The transport properties were estimated using the Boltzmann transport approach. Electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity suggest a potential p-type plasmonic character.
