Abstract
The Ti-based BaTiX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) halide perovskites are investigated using DFT with the GGA-PBE functional to explore their optical, magnetic, electronic, mechanical, and thermodynamic properties. The electronic band structure and density of states reveal a metallic nature for all compounds, while phonon calculations confirm the thermal stability of BaTiI3, with no negative lattice vibrational frequencies. Negative formation energies of −4.34, −3.87, and −3.40 eV/atom indicate thermochemical stability. Spin-polarized band structures show non-magnetic behavior. Mechanical stability is verified by Born stability criteria, and anisotropic, ductile behavior is confirmed using the anisotropic factor and Poisson’s ratio. Thermodynamic properties, including enthalpy, entropy, free energy, and heat capacity, are calculated, with zero-point energies of 0.11 eV, 0.07 eV, and 0.18 eV for BaTiX3. Optical properties reveal all materials are active in the lower energy region. These results provide a comprehensive understanding of BaTiX3 perovskites for advanced applications.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
