The halide perovskites have truly emerged as efficient optoelectronic materials and show the promise of exhibiting nontrivial topological phases. Since the bandgap is the deterministic factor for these quantum phases, here we present a…
We present a many-body calculation of the band structure and optical spectrum of the layered hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskites in the Ruddlesden-Popper phase with the general formula A$^{'}_{2}$A$_{n-1}$M$_{n}$X$_{3n+1}$, focusing…
Many commonly used nearest neighbor tight binding models for cubic semiconductors often result in inaccurate band structures when transferred to hexagonal polytypes. The resulting bandgaps are systematically too small, and in some cases…
Density Functional Tight-Binding (DFTB), an approximative approach derived from Density Functional Theory (DFT), has the potential to pave the way for simulations of large periodic or non-periodic systems. We have specifically tailored DFTB…
In this paper we analyze the band-structure of two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites by considering structures related to the simpler case of the series, (BA)$_2$PbI$_4$, in which PbI$_4$ layers are intercalated with butylammonium…
The high-symmetry pseudocubic init cell is often used for modelling the electronic structure of halide perovskites. However, direct comparison of the band structure with more realistic low-symmetry phases is impeded by the zone folding. We…
In this work, transferable empirical tight binding parameters of strained group IV and III-V semiconductors are generated from ab-initio calculations. The empirical tight binding parameters show good transferability when applied to strained…
A multiband empirical tight-binding model for group-III-nitride semiconductors with a wurtzite structure has been developed and applied to both bulk systems and embedded quantum dots. As a minimal basis set we assume one s-orbital and three…
Compared to first principles studies like DFT (physically accurate, computationally expensive), the TB approach allows the disentanglement of the region of interest, to wit the fermi level. This allows the creation of simplified, highly…
In this work, we present a ready-to-use symmetry invariant expansion form of the eight-band k.p Hamiltonian for inorganic and organic metal halide perovskites (CsPbX$_3$ and MAPbX$_3$ with $X = \{$Cl, Br, I$\}$). We use the k.p model to…
The first principles calculations of band gaps and bulk moduli of cesium lead halide perovskite solid solutions, $CsPb(I_{1-x}Cl_x)_3$ and $CsPb(I_{1-x}Br_x)_3$, are performed at the level of general gradient approximation of the density…
The centrosymmetric halide perovskites undergo a continuous phase transition from a normal insulator to a topological insulator at the critical value of strain. Contrarily, in noncentrosymmetric halide perovskites, this phase transition is…
Metal halide perovskites APbX3 (A+ = FA+ (formamidinium), MA+ (methylammonium) or Cs+, X- = I-, Br-) are considered as prominent innovative components in nowadays perovskite solar cells. Crystallization of these materials is often…
We report on a semi-empirical tight binding model for 3C-SiC including the effect of sp3d5s* orbitals and spin-orbital coupling. In this work, we illustrate in detail the method to develop such a model for semiconductors with zincblende…
It is critical to capture the effect due to strain and material interface for device level transistor modeling. We introduced a transferable sp3d5s* tight binding model with nearest neighbor interactions for arbitrarily strained group IV…
While non-nitride III-V semiconductors typically have a zincblende structure, they may also form wurtzite crystals under pressure or when grown as nanowhiskers. This makes electronic structure calculation difficult since the band structures…
We use density functional theory methods to study the electronic structures of a series of $s-p$ cubic perovskites $ABX_{3}$: the experimentally available SrBiO$_{3}$, BaBiO$_{3}$, BaSbO$_3$, CsTlF$_{3}$, and CsTlCl$_{3}$, as well as the…
Organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites (HaPs) are intensively studied for their light-harvesting properties. Owing to the interplay between strong electron-electron interaction and spin-orbit coupling (SOC), their quantitative…
Structural stability, electronic structure and optical properties of CH3NH3BaI3 hybrid perovskite is examined both from theory as well as experiment. Solution-processed thin films of CH3NH3BaI3 exhibited a high band gap of approximately…
As semiconductor technologies continue to scale down to the nanoscale, the efficient prediction of material properties becomes increasingly critical. The tight-binding (TB) method is a widely used semi-empirical approach that offers a…
