First-principles investigation of half-metallicity and physical properties of cubic XEuO $$_3$$ (X = K, Rb, Cs, Fr) perovskites for potential opto-spintronic applications
Nature ·
The Brief
- A first-principles study investigates cubic XEuO3 perovskites with X = K, Rb, Cs and Fr.
- The study examines half-metallicity and other physical properties of these materials.
- The authors frame the materials as potential candidates for opto-spintronic applications.
Why it matters
Half-metallic materials are candidates for spintronic devices, where electron spin carries information, so computational screening of new perovskites can guide which compounds merit experimental work.
