Abstract

Magnesium and calcium hydroxides X(OH)₂ (X = Mg, Ca) are multifunctional materials that have many important applications in industry, technology, and research. In solid-state electronics, the emerging applications of these compounds are related to photovoltaic devices. In the present paper we review electronic properties of X(OH)₂, band gaps, work function, and features of chemical bonding and discuss theoretically predicted exciton effects.
