First-principles investigation of Ra doping effects on structural, electronic, and optical properties of BaTiO3 perovskite for solar cell applications by Sonia Chahar, Krishna Kumar Mishra, Rajnish Sharma

“…Using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) based on the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE) approach, the bandgap energies of pure BaTiO _3 (indirect band 1.61691 eV) and RaTiO _3 (direct band 1.63612 eV) were determined. The orbital nature of Ba, Ra, Ti, and O atoms was analyzed through density of state and projected density of state analyses for pure BaTiO _3 , RaTiO _3 , and Ra-doped BaTiO _3 (x = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75). …”
