Abstract
Structural, elastic and electronic properties of fluoro-perovskite CsCaF3 are calculated using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) to the density functional theory (DFT). The exchange–correlation potential is evaluated using the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). We have calculated structural properties (the equilibrium lattice constant, the bulk modulus and its pressure derivative) and they are in good agreement with the available data. The elastic properties such as elastic constants, anisotropy factor, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and Debye temperature are obtained for the first time. We have obtained the electronic band structure and the density of states, and the CsCaF3 is a direct band gap material with the LDA and an indirect band gap material with the GGA.
