Abstract
The study investigates the structural, electronic, optical, and thermoelectric properties of anti-perovskites X3BiN using the full potential augmented plane wave method of density functional theory. The optimized lattice parameters align with experimental and theoretical calculations, indicating a semiconducting nature for the TB-mBJ potential. The optimum absorption and optical conductivity spectra in the semiconductor state suggest X3BiN as suitable for optoelectronic devices. The transport properties were calculated using BoltzTrap code, with carriers predicted as p-type. The thermoelectric figures of merit for Sr3BiN, Ba3BiN, and Ca3BiN at 600 K are 0.76, 0.77, and 0.77, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics Letters has an open access mirror journal, Chemical Physics Letters: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Chemical Physics Letters publishes brief reports on molecules, interfaces, condensed phases, nanomaterials and nanostructures, polymers, biomolecular systems, and energy conversion and storage.
Criteria for publication are quality, urgency and impact. Further, experimental results reported in the journal have direct relevance for theory, and theoretical developments or non-routine computations relate directly to experiment. Manuscripts must satisfy these criteria and should not be minor extensions of previous work.
