The study of electronic, structural, mechanical, and piezoelectric properties of bulk NbOX2 (X = Cl, Br, and I) using density functional theory
In this work, we have performed a comprehensive study of dielectric materials NbOX2 (X=Cl, Br, and I) within the framework of density functional theory, incorporating both conventional and hybrid functionals.Our studies focus on the structure, electronic, elastic, and piezoelectric properties. Piezoelectricity is an innovative avenue to extract energy by manipulating the material's structures via mechanical stress. The use of non-lead-based material for piezoelectricity added an advantage of a …
