Abstract
Materials for deep-ultraviolet(DUV)light emission are extremely rare,significantly limiting the development of efficient DUV light-emitting diodes.Here we report CsMg(I1-xBrx)3 alloys as potential DUV light emitters.Based on rigorous first-principles hybrid functional calculations,we find that CsMgI3 has an indirect bandgap,while CsMgBr3 has a direct bandgap.Further,we employ a band unfolding technique for alloy supercell cal-culations to investigate the critical Br concentration in CsMg(I1-xBrx)3 associated with the crossover from an indirect to a direct bandgap,which is found to be~0.36.Thus,CsMg(I1-xBrx)3 alloys with 0.36 ≤ x ≤ 1 cover a wide range of direct bandgap(4.38-5.37eV;284-231 nm),falling well into the DUV regime.Our study will guide the development of efficient DUV light emitters.
