摘要: An ab initio calculation has been carried out to investigate the biaxial strain ( − 10.71% < e < 9.13%) effect on elastic, electronic and optical properties of CuAlO2. All elastic constants (c11, c12, c13, c33) except c44 decrease (increase) during tensile (compressive) strain. The band gap is found in presence as well compressive relative asymmetric with respect sign Significant differences between parallel perpendicular components dielectric constant have observed due anisotropic crystal structure. It further noticed that these are easily tunable by Importantly, collective oscillation valence electrons identified for light polarized c-axis. From calculations, it clear can enhance hole mobility transparency
