Abstract : Materials’ characterization requires among other things the knowledge of the electronic structureand mechanical properties. Using ab initio simulations based on the density functional theory(DFT), the electronic structure of organic-inorganic perovskite materials is considered forapplications in solar cells. CH 3NH 3PbI 3 is one of the materials under consideration. Innovative materials for seeking room temperature superconductors are also investigated using the DFT.
