Enhancing the optical absorption of chalcogenide perovskite BaZrS3 by optimizing the synthesis and post-processing conditions

Jie Xu et al.

Summary: The study investigates the influence of sulfurization level on the structural and absorption properties of chalcogenide perovskite BaZrS3. The results show that moderate sulfurization leads to stronger light absorption, while excessive sulfurization results in weaker absorption. Post-annealing in air is found to improve the absorbance of BaZrS3. The presence of oxide impurities in BaZrS3 may not be a serious issue, but can contribute to higher absorption.

Understanding the structure-band gap relationship in SrZrS3 at elevated temperatures: a detailed NPT MD study

Namrata Jaykhedkar et al.

Summary: This study investigates the thermal effects on the structure, bulk modulus, and electronic band gap of SrZrS3 in the needle-like and distorted perovskite phases. The results show that the two phases have different thermal expansion behaviors, and the thermal-induced structural changes in the distorted perovskite phase are influenced by the proximity of the cubic phase. Additionally, the electronic band gap of the distorted perovskite phase decreases due to the large atomic displacement contribution from the parent cubic phase.
