    "description": "Computational data to support an extensive study of prospective dopants in the zinc blende (gamma) phase of cuprous iodide. This phase of CuI holds the current record hole conductivity for intrinsic transparent p-type semiconductors. In the corresponding scientific article, a high-throughput approach was employed to systematically explore strategies for enhancing CuI further by impurity incorporation. Our objectives were to identify a practical approach for increasing hole conductivity in CuI thin films and to explore the possibility for ambivalent doping. A total of 64 chemical elements was investigated. This materials cloud record contains all optimized defective structures for Cu and I substitutional sites, calculation settings and some of the output (LOCPOT files, required for electrostatic correction calculations are not included due to their large size).  Chalcogen elements were found to display acceptor character when substituting iodine. Further eight impurities suitable for n-type doping were also discovered. Unfortunately, our work further revealed that donor doping is hindered by compensating native defects.",
