“…3c, and two hybridization strengths, between the M, s and X, p orbitals, and between the M, p and X, s orbitals, respectively. Interactions between M, s and X, s orbitals, and between M, p and X, p are symmetry forbidden at the R-point of a cubic perovskite, so we do not have to consider the corresponding hybridization strengths 19 . The energy levels of the halide ions, E X, s , E X, p , can be obtained from the DFT-calculated level spectra at the Γ-point or the R-point, by identifying halide states that are non-bonding in cubic perovskites.…”
