- Abstract
First-principles calculations using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and the Wien2k package are used to analyze the structural, electrical, optical, and elastic characteristics of Li-based chloride perovskites LiXCl3 (X = Ca, Ba). The structural analysis demonstrates that these compounds are stable and have the space group pm-3m (no. 221). The calculations show that these materials possess an indirect band gap. For elastic properties, the Pugh's ratio (compound ductility), elastic constants, anisotropy factor, Poisson's ratio, and bulk modulus are analyzed. In 0–30 eV energy range, optical parameters such as dielectric function, extinction coefficient, reflectivity, absorption coefficient, refractive index, and optical conductivity, are measured. Optical properties, i.e. dielectric function, extinction coefficient, refractive index, absorption coefficient, reflectivity and optical conductivity, are evaluated in 0–30 eV energy range. The calculations show that these materials possess large band gap and are structurally anisotropic, making these better candidates for scintillator applications.
