摘要

In this comprehensive first-principles study, the structural, phonon, electronic, optical, and elastic properties of Ba2XSbO6 (X = Dy, La) double perovskite oxides were systematically investigated using density functional theory (DFT). Both compounds exhibit structural stability in magnetic and non-magnetic phases, as confirmed by the Birch–Murnaghan equation of state. The electronic band structure reveals that Ba2DySbO6 is a spin-polarized half-metal, indicating strong potential for spintronic and magnetic semiconductor applications, while Ba2LaSbO6 is a wide-bandgap direct semiconductor, making it suitable for optoelectronic use. The density of states highlights Dy-f orbital dominance near the Fermi level in Ba2DySbO6, with Ba and Sb contributing to bonding interactions in both materials. Optical analyses show Ba2LaSbO6 possesses excellent dielectric properties (ε1 ≈ 6 eV), high absorption (160 × 104 cm−1 at 9 eV), and notable optical conductivity (6000 Ω−1 cm−1 at 6 eV), making it promising for UV-protective and optoelectronic applications. Mechanically, Ba2LaSbO6 demonstrates higher stiffness (Y = 172.91 GPa, G = 68.35 GPa), while Ba2DySbO6 shows enhanced ductility (B/G = 2.96), suggesting potential for flexible devices. Additionally, Ba2LaSbO6 shows a higher refractive index (~ 3.5) and reflectivity (~ 30% at 5 eV), supporting its suitability for optical coating technologies.
