We use WIEN2K to conduct density functional theory computations to explore the structural, thermodynamic, optoelectronic, and mechanical properties of fluoroperovskites QMnF (Q = Ga, In). The application of the Birch-Murnaghan equation to the energy volume, formation energy, and tolerance factor confirms the structural stability of these two QMnF (Q = Ga, In) materials. The thermodynamic stability of the compounds is confirmed by the results of the phonon calculation, while the mechanical stability is confirmed from the values of the elastic constants. GaMnF demonstrates a high capacity to withstand both compressive and shear stresses. A lower bulk modulus is responsible for the weaker ability of InMnF to endure changes in volume. Compared to GaMnF, InMnF possesses rigidity having greater shear modulus, indicating greater resistance to changes in shape. However, both compounds are characterized as mechanically brittle, anisotropic, and ductile. The band structure that was determined indicates that both GaMnF and InMnF exhibit a metallic character. The density of states analysis further supports the metallic nature of GaMnF and InMnF. In GaMnF, the "Mn" and "F" atoms in the valence band significantly participate in the total density of states, whereas in InMnF, both "Mn" and "F" atoms also dominate the total density of states. The values of (0) computed for GaMnF and InMnF are positive > 0, and agree with Penn's model. We calculate the optical properties for both GaMnF and InMnF and the potential of these materials of interest for applications in optoelectronic gadgets including light-emitting diodes is attributed to their absorption in the ultraviolet-visible zone. We believe that this work may provide comprehensive insight, encouraging further exploration of experimental studies.
我们使用WIEN2K进行密度泛函理论计算,以探索氟钙钛矿QMnF(Q = Ga,In)的结构、热力学、光电和力学性能。将Birch-Murnaghan方程应用于能量-体积、形成能和容差因子,证实了这两种QMnF(Q = Ga,In)材料的结构稳定性。声子计算结果证实了化合物的热力学稳定性,而弹性常数的值则证实了力学稳定性。GaMnF表现出承受压缩应力和剪切应力的高能力。较低的体积模量导致InMnF承受体积变化的能力较弱。与GaMnF相比,InMnF具有更大的剪切模量,表明其具有更大的抗形状变化能力。然而,这两种化合物都具有机械脆性、各向异性和延展性的特征。所确定的能带结构表明,GaMnF和InMnF都表现出金属特性。态密度分析进一步支持了GaMnF和InMnF的金属性质。在GaMnF中,价带中的“Mn”和“F”原子显著参与总态密度,而在InMnF中,“Mn”和“F”原子也主导总态密度。为GaMnF和InMnF计算的(0)值为正 > 0,与Penn模型一致。我们计算了GaMnF和InMnF的光学性质,这些材料在包括发光二极管在内的光电器件中的潜在应用归因于它们在紫外-可见光区的吸收。我们相信这项工作可能提供全面的见解,鼓励进一步开展实验研究探索。
