Band gaps of the solar perovskites photovoltaic CsXCl3 (X=Sn, Pb or Ge)

S. Idrissi et al.

Summary: In this study, the structural and electronic properties of solar perovskite photovoltaic CsXCl3 (X = Sn, Pb or Ge) were investigated using ab-initio calculations, revealing non-magnetic and semiconductor behaviors. The band gap of these materials was found to increase with lattice parameter 'a' and differ among CsSnCl3, CsPbCl3, and CsGeCl3. Additionally, the spin orbit coupling (SOC) effect was shown to decrease the band gap energy values of the studied solar perovskite materials.
