摘要
本文利用密度泛函理论(DFT)研究了空位有序双钙钛矿Cs2ReX6 (X = Cl, Br, I)的结构、电子、光学和磁性。GGA + mBJ计算得到的带隙分别为2.68 eV (Cl)、2.19 eV (Br)和1.40 eV (I)。与普通氢电极(NHE)相比,价带最大值(VBM)从+2.54 V降至+1.88 V和+1.11 V,而导带最小值(CBM)分别为- 0.14 V、- 0.31 V和- 0.29 V。这些趋势受卤素离子半径增大和电负性减小的影响。力学稳定性由弹性常数确定,所有化合物均表现出延性。Cs2ReI6表现出增强的红外吸收和最高的介电常数(ε1(∞)= 7.62),表明在红外区域有较强的光学响应。磁性计算表明,所有化合物的基态均为铁磁性,总磁矩接近3 μB,主要由Re 5d电子贡献。良好的能带边缘位置、稳定的铁磁性和强的光吸收表明,Cs2ReX6材料是光催化、光电子和自旋电子器件的有希望的候选者。
From UV to IR: Unveiling the photocatalytic and optoelectronic promise of Cs2ReX (X= Cl, Br, I) compounds
In this study, the structural, electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of vacancy-ordered double perovskites Cs2ReX6 (X = Cl, Br, I) are investigated using density functional theory (DFT). GGA + mBJ calculations yield band gaps of 2.68 eV (Cl), 2.19 eV (Br), and 1.40 eV (I). The valence band maximum (VBM) potentials decrease from +2.54 V to +1.88 V and +1.11 V versus the normal hydrogen electrode (NHE), while the conduction band minimum (CBM) values are −0.14 V, −0.31 V, and −0.29 V, respectively. These trends are influenced by increasing halogen ionic radius and decreasing electronegativity. Mechanical stability is confirmed through elastic constants, and all compounds show ductile behavior. Cs2ReI6 exhibits enhanced infrared absorption and the highest dielectric constant (ε1(∞) = 7.62), indicating strong optical response in the IR region. Magnetic calculations reveal a ferromagnetic ground state for all compounds, with total magnetic moments close to 3 μB, mainly contributed by Re 5d electrons. The combination of favorable band edge positions, stable ferromagnetism, and strong light absorption suggests that Cs2ReX6 materials are promising candidates for photocatalysis, optoelectronics, and spintronic devices.
