Caesium lead iodide-bromide-chloride perovskite material model
1. Introduction
This page contains the OghmaNano material model for Caesium lead iodide-bromide-chloride perovskite (CsPb(I1-x-y Brx Cly)3).
Caesium lead mixed-halide perovskite CsPb(I1-x-y Brx Cly)3 (x = Br fraction, y = Cl fraction), cubic phase; ternary linear interpolation of CsPbI3, CsPbBr3 and CsPbCl3.
The model is written in Lua and provides simulation-ready material parameterisations for use within OghmaNano. For documentation, licensing, references, and information about the scope and accuracy of these models, see the material scripting documentation.

-- OghmaNano material file: CsPb(I1-x-y Brx Cly)3
-- Caesium lead iodide-bromide-chloride perovskite
--
-- Composition: x = bromide fraction, y = chloride fraction,
-- iodide fraction = 1 - x - y (x >= 0, y >= 0, x + y <= 1),
-- taken from state.x and state.y.
--
-- Phase: Cubic alpha-phase, Pm-3m (space group 221, Oh point group),
-- Phase: as in all three endpoint files; the phase used by the k.p model.
--
-- Every numerical parameter is a ternary linear interpolation of the
-- endpoint files CsPbI3.lua, CsPbBr3.lua and CsPbCl3.lua:
-- p(x,y) = (1-x-y)*p_I + x*p_Br + y*p_Cl
-- Where an endpoint function has a temperature law, the law is kept
-- and its coefficient is interpolated.
-- Generated: 29 September 2026
--
-- The eight perovskite_* functions and material.Eg_qw carry the
-- eight-band k.p parameters of the endpoint files (Table I of
-- Gawarecki et al., Phys. Rev. Applied 22, 014058 (2024)).
--
-- Units are SI unless stated otherwise. P_parallel and Pz are kept in
-- eV*Angstrom exactly as in the endpoint files (they are NOT the Kane
-- energy Ep).
