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 \({C}_{44}\) C 44 value. Additional pressure-dependent calculations reveal that NbBiO3 becomes mechanically stable under hydrostatic pressure of 20 GPa, suggesting a pressure-stabilized cubic phase. The calculated optical properties demonstrate significant metallic screening and interband optical transitions, leading to pronounced dielectric response and energy-loss features in the ultraviolet energy range. Transport calculations within the BoltzTraP framework provide insight into the electronic transport behavior of these compounds; however, their metallic nature limits conventional thermoelectric efficiency. Overall, this theoretical study provides a detailed understanding of the physical properties and stability of VBiO3 and NbBiO3 and offers guidance for future investigations of Bi-based transition-metal perovskites under stabilized structural conditions.
