Popis: In this paper, we have calculated the structural, electronic and mechanical properties of formamidinium lead halide perovskites, [HC(NH2)2]PbX3 (X = I, Br) using generalized gradient approximation (GGA) within the framework of density functional theory (DFT). The calculated lattice parameters agree well with the experimental data. Further, the electronic band structures and partial density of states are calculated in the energy range −10 to 10 eV. Moreover, we have calculated the mechanical properties of the investigated perovskite materials such as elastic constants (C11, C12, C44), bulk modulus (B), shear modulus (G), Young’s modulus (E), Poisson’s ratio (σ), Pugh’s ratio (B/G) and Zener anisotropy (A).
