First principle analysis of lead-free variant perovskites iodides for optical and thermoelectric applications

The Cesium-based variant perovskites are emerging aspirants for optoelectronic and thermoelectric applications. We have comprehensively studied and executed calculations for the analysis of optical and transport characteristics of new family of variant perovskites Cs2XI6 (X = Ti, Zr, Hf). The struct...
