Navigating the Optoelectronic and Thermodynamic Performances of NaMgBr3 Halide Perovskite
摘要
In the current study, the sodium- based halide perovskite material NaMgBr3 was investigated for its optical, electronic and thermodynamic performances via full potential augmented plane wave approach in the framework of Density Functional Theory. The generalized gradient approximation in the outline of Perdew, Burke and Ernzerhof (PBE) potential has been utilized for the exchange potential. The stability of the structure is determined by estimating the overall energy in cubic Pm-3m (221) space group. The optimized lattice parameter is calculated to be 5.316 Å. The band structure depicts indirect wide band gap of 2.911 eV signifying suitability for photovoltaic applications. In order to investigate the material’s potential in the optoelectronic devices, the optical characteristics such as static dielectric constant (at photon frequency) is estimated to 3.2, refractive index to 1.76. Further, optical conductivity (completely zero till 3 eV) and absorption coefficient are also examined. The thermodynamic properties of NaMgBr3 at temperature (0-1200
