In this paper, we report the optimizations of computation parameters, namely the kinetic energy cut-off, k-point and lattice constant, which were used in the electronic structure calculations of LiPbI3 crystal. The calculations were based on the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method using the Quantum Espresso computational package. The variable-cell relaxation algorithm (vc-relax) was employed for obtaining the lowest total energy value by using ultrasoft pseudopotentials and Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) exchange-correlation functions. The optimum of kinetic energy cut-off was obtained to be 40 Rydberg, the k-point was at least of 5×5×5, and the band gap energy was 1.45 eV. The calculated electronic structure shows that LiPbI3 properties are different from CsPbI3, but it may have a semiconductor property.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Density functional theory methods,Electronic structure calculations,Exchange-correlation functions,High energy conversions,Parameters optimization,Semiconductor properties,Solar-cell applications,Ultrasoft pseudo potential[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]The authors acknowledge the support from P3MI ITB program and LP2M UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/434/1/012026[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
