Abstract

Correction for ‘Lone pair driven anisotropy in antimony chalcogenide semiconductors’ by Xinwei Wang et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2022, 24, 7195–7202, https://doi.org/10.1039/D1CP05373F.


The authors regret that Fig. 5(b) was incorrect in the original manuscript due to a minor error in the code used for calculating the orientation-dependent radiative limit to photovoltaic conversion efficiency. The corrected figure is shown here. The optical absorption spectra of Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3 result in a weak orientation-dependent radiative limit of conversion efficiencies. When the film thickness is 500 nm, the difference between the maximum and minimum efficiencies along different directions is 1.31% and 2.40% for Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3, respectively. The authors note that the correction of Fig. 5(b) does not change the central conclusions of the paper.

Fig. 5 (a) Calculated optical absorption spectra of Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3 arising from direct valence to conduction band transitions. The fundamental band gaps are shown in grey dotted lines. (b) Thickness-dependent maximum efficiencies based on the radiative limit of Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3. x, y and z refer to the direction of the electric polarisation vector of light.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
