To investigate the structural, electronic, optical and magnetic properties of Sr-doped KNbO3 for perovskite solar cell applications: A DFT study

A First-principles research based on density functional theory is used to explore the various properties of pure and Sr-doped-KNbO3-perovskites compounds such as structural, electronic, magnetic, and optical characteristics. The Sr impact on structural, optical, electronic, and magnetic properties o...
