LID - 10.3390/molecules28114418 [doi] LID - 4418 AB - This research is being conducted to learn more about various compounds and their potential uses in various fields such as renewable energy, electrical conductivity, the study of optoelectronic properties, the use of light-absorbing materials in photovoltaic device thin-film LEDs, and field effect transistors (FETs). AgZF3 (Z = Sb, Bi) compounds, which are simple, cubic, ternary fluoro-perovskites, are studied using the FP-LAPW and low orbital algorithm, both of which are based on DFT. Structure, elasticity and electrical and optical properties are only some of the many features that can be predicted. The TB-mBJ method is used to analyze several property types. An important finding of this study is an increase in the bulk modulus value after switching Sb to Bi as the metallic cation designated as "Z" demonstrates the stiffness characteristic of a material. The anisotropy and mechanical balance of the underexplored compounds are also revealed. Our compounds are ductile, as evidenced by the calculated Poisson ratio, Cauchy pressure, and Pugh ratio values. Both compounds exhibit indirect band gaps (X-M), with the lowest points of the conduction bands located at the evenness point X and the highest points of the valence bands located at the symmetry point M. The principal peaks in the optical spectrum can be understood in light of the observed electronic structure.
