abstract = {We present a theoretical study on iron pyrite using
density-functional theory (DFT) and the GW approximation to
many-body perturbation theory. The fundamental band gap of
iron pyrite is determined by iron 3d states at the valence
band edge and a sulfur 3p-dominated conduction band at Γ.
The gap is quite sensitive to structural changes as well as
to the applied electronic structure method. We found that
this p-dominated band does not play a significant role for
the optical absorption, leading to a large difference
between the optical and fundamental band gaps of iron
pyrite. As a consequence the GW-corrected energies result in
no considerable change of the optical band gap as compared
to standard DFT, both being in reasonable agreement with
experiment. However, we show that the fundamental band gap
is reduced to about 0.3 eV in GW, which may contribute to
the low open-circuit voltage of about 0.2 V observed in iron
pyrite solar cells, representing a serious bottleneck for
photovoltaic applications. To demonstrate that this
unconventional reduction of the p-d gap is not unique for
iron pyrite, similarities for FeS2 in the marcasite
structure are presented.},
