摘要：

The lead-free halide double perovskite class of materials offers a promising venue for resolving issues related to toxicity of Pb and long-term stability of the lead-containing halide perovskites. We present a first-principles study of the lattice vibrations in Cs2AgBiBr6, the prototypical compound in this class and show that the lattice dynamics of Cs2AgBiBr6 is highly anharmonic, largely in regards to tilting of AgBr6 and BiBr6 octahedra. Using an energy- and temperature-dependent phonon spectral function, we then show how the experimentally observed cubic-to-tetragonal phase transformation is caused by the collapse of a soft phonon branch. We finally reveal that the softness and anharmonicity of Cs2AgBiBr6 yield an ultralow thermal conductivity, unexpected of high-symmetry cubic structures.
