Valence and conduction band tuning in halide perovskites for solar cell applications

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: We performed density functional calculations aimed at identifying the atomistic and electronic structure origin of the valence and conduction band, and band gap tunability of halide perovskites ABX 3 upon variations of the monovalent and bivalent cations A and B and the halide anion X.
