Abstrakt:	Cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) is a prominent halide perovskite with extensive optoelectronic applications. In this study, we report the pressure modulation of CsPbBr3's crystal structure and electronic properties at room temperature up to 5 GPa. We have observed a crystal structure transition from the orthorhombic Pnma space group to a new monoclinic phase in the space group P21/c at 2.08 GPa. The structure is associated with ~8% of density jump across the transition boundary. DFT calculations have suggested that the structure transition leads to a change in the electronic band structure, and there is an emergent indirect bandgap at the Pnma-P21/c phase transition boundary at 2.08 GPa. Across the transition boundary, the electronic band gap of CsPbBr3 increased from 2.07 eV to 2.38 eV, which explains its pressure-induced color change. Our study demonstrates the importance of using in-situ crystal structure in the electronic band structure calculations in halide perovskites. CsPbBr3 is a characteristic halide perovskite with extensive optoelectronic application potential. Here, the authors report the pressure modulation of the crystal structure and electronic properties of CsPbBr3 at room temperature and pressures up to 5 GPa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
