Abstract:
Spin-polarized first-principles calculations were performed to investigate the physical properties of K₂NaXI₆ (X = Cr, Fe) halide double perovskites. Accurate electronic band gaps were obtained using the TB-mBJ exchange potential. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations confirm the thermodynamic stability of both compounds. Electronic structure analysis reveals semiconducting behavior in both spin channels for K₂NaCrI₆ and K₂NaFeI₆. The calculated band gaps for K₂NaCrI₆ are 0.8 eV in the spin-up channel and 1.8 eV in the spin-down channel, whereas K₂NaFeI₆ exhibits band gaps of 3.2 eV (spin-up) and 0.4 eV (spin-down). Both materials display ferromagnetic ordering, with total magnetic moments of 3 µB for K₂NaCrI₆ and 5 µB for K₂NaFeI₆. Optical property calculations, including the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function, indicate strong optical absorption spanning the visible to ultraviolet energy regions. Furthermore, thermoelectric analysis predicts n-type conduction behavior for K₂NaCrI₆ and p-type behavior for K₂NaFeI₆, highlighting their potential for multifunctional energy applications.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
