“…Shear modulus G is much larger than B and the decisive modulus of elasticity affecting the mechanical stability . Moreover, ductility and brittleness can be differentiated by the Pugh’s ratios ( B / G ) and Poisson’s ratio. , The critical values are 1.75 and 0.26, respectively, which means ductile materials of the Pugh’s ratios are larger than 1.75 or Poisson’s ratio are larger than 0.26, and are otherwise brittle materials. Based on the results, the F-based materials are ductile and promising candidates in flexible devices.…”

A series of novel cobalt-based perovskite materials have been studied through density functional theory first-principles calculation. The cubic perovskite structure stability is demonstrated by tolerance factors and Born−Huang stability criteria in mechanics as well as formation energies in thermodynamics. The elastic constant analysis indicates that the fluoride perovskites are ductile and ionic compounds while the chloride perovskites are brittle and covalent. All the perovskites are direct semiconductors with band gaps as 1.644, 0.455, 2.136, and 0.683 eV for K 2 InCoF 6 , K 2 InCoCl 6 , Rb 2 InCoF 6 , and Rb 2 InCoCl 6 , respectively. The absorption coefficient reveals all the materials still have broad absorption spectra compared with solar AM1.5 irradiance despite photon unavailability in the small wavelength range. Taking into account other physical properties, these perovskites still exhibit great potential and deserve further experimental research. Due to a proper band gap value and high light absorption, K 2 InCoF 6 is considered as the best candidate for solar materials.
