Abstract:A series of novel cobalt-based perovskite materials have been studied through density functional theory first-principles calculation. The cubic perovskite structure stability is demonstrated by tolerance factors and Born−Huang stability criteria in mechanics as well as formation energies in thermodynamics. The elastic constant analysis indicates that the fluoride perovskites are ductile and ionic compounds while the chloride perovskites are brittle and covalent. All the perovskites are direct semiconductors wi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
