Abstract:
This study explores the optical and mechanical properties, along with the thermodynamical and thermal stability of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3), specifically for terahertz (THz) applications, utilizing first-principles density functional theory and finite element analysis. The refractive index of MAPbI3 remains stable in the THz region, showing no dispersion or loss, and can be finely tuned by temperature, exhibiting pronounced changes around the 60 °C phase transition. We propose a tunable metastructure that integrates MAPbI3, featuring periodic circular slot rings, to investigate bound states in the continuum (BICs) and quasi-BICs. By employing symmetry-breaking techniques, we effectively convert BICs into quasi-BICs, revealing temperature-tunable frequency shifts and quality factors that highlight the potential for innovative THz optoelectronic devices. Furthermore, our research examines the structure's capability for carbon dioxide gas sensing, achieving impressive results with a maximum sensitivity of 0.301 THz/RIU and a figure of merit of 1.911 × 105.

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
