A comprehensive investigation of the SrAsX (X = F/Cl/Br) inorganic cubic perovskites' strain-induced structural, electronic, optical, and mechanical properties with solar cell applications.

In comparison to the lead halide perovskites, nowadays, lead-free halide perovskites have demonstrated a number of benefits, including efficient optical absorption, increased stability, variable bandgap, excellent mobility of carriers, non-toxicity, abundant raw ingredients, and low manufacturing cost.
