Abstract

The objective of this tool is to find suitable materials for optical applications. We obtain data from Materials Project  (MP) database, which uses electronic structure calculations to determine materials' properties. First, we query all the cubic materials in the MP database, then a set of mechanical and optical properties based filters are applied to downselect the materials appropriate for optical applications. We extend the work in Ref. [1]  to all the cubic materials and an additional filter based on elastic isotropy is also applied. We predict infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths' cutoff from phonon density of states (ph-DOS) and bandgap, respectively.
