Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzes the physical properties of CoZrZ compounds, showcasing metallic characteristics in CoZrBi and CoZrAs, while CoZrPb shows semi-metallic behavior with significant infrared transitions and UV light absorption potential.
  • - It employs advanced computational techniques like the Wien2k code, Hubbard parameter calculations, and energy gap assessments using GGA and mBJ-GGA methods to explore the optical behavior and thermoelectric properties of these compounds.
  • - The findings suggest that CoZrZ materials, particularly CoZrPb, could be promising for space solar energy applications due to their unique absorption capabilities and exhibit interesting optical phenomena like super-luminescence.

Context And Results: As an inorganic halide perovskite material, AgCaCl, characterized by its high stability and environmental friendliness, is considered a potential candidate for major applications in optoelectronics and lens manufacturing. This work aimed to determine the electronic properties such as density of state (DOS) and band structure (BS) of AgCaCl3. The results showed that the material has an indirect band gap almost invariably at 1.
