Abstract: Cesium metal halide perovskites are very promising light absorbing materials for solar cells, due to their good thermal stability compared to other organometallic perovskites. Cesium lead iodide perovskite CsPbI3 is one the most promising compound from this family because of its band gap of 1.7eVsuitable for a top cell in silicon tandem solar cell. Herein, we systematically investigate the structural, electronic, elastic, optical properties and some carrier transport properties of CsPbI3 perovskites polymorphs using pseudo-potential plane wave method implemented in CASTEP and ABINIT codes. We use hybrid functional within the GW approximation (GW-HSE06) and the spin-orbit coupling (GGA-PBE + SOC) to estimate the band gaps. The elastic properties indicate the flexibility and softness of CsPbI3 perovskites, they also have a high absorption coefficient values (α = 104–105 cm−1) and low exciton binding energy which make them potential candidate for solar cells application.

Laser-accelerated phase transformation in cesium lead iodide perovskite
TL;DR: In this article , an above-band gap laser was used to transform CsPbI3 into low-temperature phase at rates orders of magnitude larger than that of the moisture-induced phase transformation alone, likely due to additional surface vacancy creation and/or migration.

Generalized Gradient Approximation Made Simple
TL;DR: A simple derivation of a simple GGA is presented, in which all parameters (other than those in LSD) are fundamental constants, and only general features of the detailed construction underlying the Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) GGA are invoked.
