摘要:

无机-有机卤化铅钙钛矿,特别是甲基铵卤化铅(MAPbI $_3$)钙钛矿,被认为是用于光电子学和自旋电子学的有前途的材料。但铅的毒性及在空气和潮湿环境下的不稳定性限制了其实际应用。因此,必须通过替代适当的替代品来降低铅含量。在这里,我们在立方MAPbI $_3$中取代Sn和Ge,并通过采用最先进的基于第一原理的方法来比较混合钙钛矿的各种性质,即,半局域和混合泛函(HSE 06)的密度泛函理论(DFT)和结合自旋轨道耦合(SOC)的广义梯度近似(PBE)。我们主要研究了Rashba-Dresselhaus(RD)效应,这种效应是由于两种主要的机制破坏了反转对称性,即,静态和动态,以及重元素的存在下,有助于显着的SOC。我们发现不可忽略的自旋分裂效应的导带最低(CBM)和价带最高(VBM)的混合钙钛矿。为了更深入地理解所观察到的自旋分裂,自旋织构进行了分析,并计算Rashba系数。我们发现,Dresselhaus效应开始发挥作用,在取代的杂交除了通常的Rashba效应中观察到的原始化合物。我们还观察到,Rashba自旋分裂的强度可以在单轴应变($\pm5\%$)的应用上大幅调整。此外,我们注意到,一些杂交种是机械稳定和延展性。因此,这些混合钙钛矿可以证明是有效的钙钛矿为基础的自旋电子应用。

英文摘要:

Inorganic-organic lead halide perovskites, particularly methylammonium lead halide (MAPbI$_3$) perovskite, is perceived to be a promising material for optoelectronics and spintronics. However, lead toxicity and instability under air and moisture restrict its practical uses. Hence, it is essential to reduce lead extent by substituting appropriate alternatives. Here, we substitute Sn and Ge in cubic MAPbI$_3$ and compare various properties of hybrid perovskites by employing state-of-the-art first-principles-based methodologies, viz., density functional theory (DFT) with semilocal and hybrid functional (HSE06) and generalized gradient approximation (PBE) combined with spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We mainly study the Rashba-Dresselhaus (RD) effect, which occurs here due to two major mechanisms breaking inversion symmetry, i.e., static and dynamic, and the presence of heavy elements contributing to significant SOC. We find non-negligible spin-splitting effects in the conduction band minimum (CBm) and valence band maximum (VBM) for hybrid perovskites. For a deeper understanding of the observed spin-splitting, the spin textures are analyzed and Rashba coefficients are calculated. We find that Dresselhaus effect comes into play in substituted hybrids in addition to the usual Rashba effect observed in pristine compound. We also observe that the strength of Rashba spin-splitting can be substantially tuned on application of uniaxial strain ($\pm5\%$). Also, we notice that some of the hybrids are mechanically stable and ductile. Hence these hybrid perovskites can prove to be potent for perovskite-based spintronic applications.
