摘要:

我们开发了一个计算效率高的计划,以准确地确定有限温度带隙。我们在这里关注属于ABX 3类(A = Rb、Cs; B = Ge、Sn、Pb;并且X = F、Cl、Br、I)的材料,其包括卤化物钙钛矿。首先,通过使用范围分离的混合泛函,其中的参数是从电子密度和高频介电常数非经验地确定的理想的晶体结构的带隙的初始估计。接下来,我们考虑两种带隙修正来解释自旋-轨道耦合和包括零点运动的热振动。特别是,后者的效果是占通过特殊的位移方法,其中包括在使用一个单一的扭曲配置获得的振动频率和本征模式,从而避免冗长的分子动力学。这两个修正的顺序考虑系统地提高了带隙,达到0.17 eV的平均绝对误差相对于实验值。我们的计划的计算效率源于这样一个事实,即只需要一个单一的计算在混合功能的水平,它是足够的,以评估在半局部水平的理论校正。我们的计划是特别方便的大型系统和筛选大型数据库的材料。

英文摘要:

We develop a computationally efficient scheme to accurately determine finite-temperature band gaps. We here focus on materials belonging to the class ABX3 (A = Rb, Cs; B = Ge, Sn, Pb; and X = F, Cl, Br, I), which includes halide perovskites. First, an initial estimate of the band gap is provided for the ideal crystalline structure through the use of a range-separated hybrid functional, in which the parameters are determined nonempirically from the electron density and the high-frequency dielectric constant. Next, we consider two kinds of band-gap corrections to account for spin-orbit coupling and thermal vibrations including zero-point motions. In particular, the latter effect is accounted for through the special displacement method, which consists in using a single distorted configuration obtained from the vibrational frequencies and eigenmodes, thereby avoiding lengthy molecular dynamics. The sequential consideration of both corrections systematically improves the band gaps, reaching a mean absolute error of 0.17 eV with respect to experimental values. The computational efficiency of our scheme stems from the fact that only a single calculation at the hybrid-functional level is required and that it is sufficient to evaluate the corrections at the semilocal level of theory. Our scheme is particularly convenient for large-size systems and for the screening of large databases of materials.
