Unlocking Cs2GeTmI6 double perovskite through DFT-simulation: how strain shapes its electronic and optical marvels
摘要
Double perovskite’s DPs structural flexibility and tunable optoelectronic applications have attracted considerable attention. To address this performance, in this study, the effects of uniaxial strain (− 4 to 4%) on the physical behavior of Cs₂GeTmI₆ DPs were examined with the WIEN2K program. The indirect bandgap of the material increases with tensile strain and decreases under compressive strain. I-3p, Tm-3d, and Ge-5d orbitals strongly influence the conduction and valence bands. Absorption and reflectivity shifts that are strain-dependent are seen in optical characteristics. These results demonstrate how lattice strain engineering can improve Cs₂GeTmI₆ optoelectronic performance.
