Unveiling metallic perovskite oxides: a first-principles exploration of VBiO3 and NbBiO3 for optoelectronics and energy transport
摘要
This work presents a systematic first-principles investigation of the structural, electronic, elastic, optical, and thermoelectric properties of the cubic perovskite oxides VBiO3 and NbBiO3 using density functional theory within the WIEN2k framework. The calculated band structures and spin-resolved density of states confirm that both compounds exhibit metallic behavior, characterized by strong hybridization between transition-metal d states and O-2p orbitals near the Fermi level. Elastic analysis indicates that VBiO3 satisfies the Born stability criteria and is mechanically stable and ductile, whereas NbBiO3 shows shear instability in the cubic phase at ambient pressure due to a negative
