First-principles Studies on Structural, Electronic, Optical and Mechanical Properties of Inorganic CS2NaTlX6 (X = F, Cl, Br) Double Halide Perovskites (2302.02201v1)

Abstract: The structural, electrical, optical, and mechanical characteristics of the lead-free halide double perovskites Cs2NaTlX6 X = F, Cl, Br are calculated by utilizing PBE functional within generalized gradient approximation GGA under the context of density functional theory DFT.The structural properties such as lattice parameter, cell volume, total energy, bulk modulus, pressure derivative, and tolerance factor are computed at equilibrium.The electronic density of states reveals the semiconducting nature of the compound and the band structure exhibits the nature of the band gap to be direct.HSE06 functional is introduced to correct the underestimated band gap as obtained in the GGA-PBE functional.The real and imaginary components of the dielectric function, absorption coefficient, energy loss function, reflectivity, refractive index, and extinction coefficient are analyzed and explained by electronic structures.
