A theoretical study of electronic and optical properties of metal-halide cubic perovskite, CsPbI3\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\hbox {CsPbI}_3$$\end{document}, is presented, using first-principles calculations with plane-wave pseudopotential method as implemented in the PWSCF code. In this approach, local density approximation (LDA) is used for exchange-correlation potential. A strong ionic bonding is observed between Cs and I orbitals and a weak covalent bonding is found between Pb-I and Cs-Pb orbitals. The optical properties of this compound are interesting and it has many applications in optoelectronic devices.
