Abstract
In their recent article Shoukat Hussain et al. 1 report the results of their density functional theory (DFT) calculations on a series of four Francium-bearing cubic perovskite materials FrDCl3 (D = Ca, Sr, Ge, Sn), discussing their possible applications for smart windows and optoelectronics. In this comment, I highlight the issue of Fr instability that completely undermines the applicability of any Fr-based materials.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids is a well-established international medium for publication of archival research in condensed matter and materials sciences. Areas of interest broadly include experimental and theoretical research on electronic, magnetic, spectroscopic and structural properties as well as the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics of materials. The focus is on gaining physical and chemical insight into the properties and potential applications of condensed matter systems.
Within the broad scope of the journal, beyond regular contributions, the editors have identified submissions in the following areas of physics and chemistry of solids to be of special current interest to the journal:
Low-dimensional systems
Exotic states of quantum electron matter including topological phases
Energy conversion and storage
Interfaces, nanoparticles and catalysts.
