| Résumé : |
In this work, we studied the structural, electronic and elastic properties of the cubic perovskite composite BiIn????????. The aim of this work is to know the properties of BiIn???????? in preparation for the possible use of this compound in certain applications and fields. For this purpose, we used the (ab initio) calculation method, based on the density functional theory (DFT) included in CASTEP and integrated with the plane wave method and pseudopotentials (PP-PW), to calculate the cross-correlation potential (Xc), we used the localized density approximation (LDA) as well as the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) in the calculations and found that the lattice constant and compressive modulus obtained are consistent with the theoretical results. The elasticity constants increase with increasing hydrostatic pressure, where we studied a range from 0 GPa to 40 GPa. As for the elastic properties, we calculated the Zener ratio and found that the compound is anisotropic; and more rigid along the crystalline direction [100], The elastic constants fulfilled the stability conditions, which means that our compound is structurally stable. The results of the energy band analysis indicated that the studied compound is an indirect band gap conductor, moreover, by analyzing the density of state spectrum we found that the chemical bonds are a mixture of valence and ionic bonds and that Bi -6p constitutes the majority of the conduction band, according to DOS analysis, while O -2p states practically dominate the valence band. Our results from the study of the physical properties of the BiIn???????? molecule indicate that our compound could be a good substitute (candidate) for lead-containing materials to protect nature from its toxicity . |
