dc.description.abstractWe explore the structural, elastic, optoelectronic, Radiation Shielding, and thermoelectric properties of Ba2In2X5 (X = S, Te) using first-principles computations and semi-classical Boltzmann Transport equations. These materials are classified as semiconductors exhibiting band gaps of 2.0 eV and 3.0 eV for both investigated NLO compounds that have more significant direct band gaps of superior optical birefringence and second-order NLO coefficients. The bonding properties have been investigated by analyzing the electron charge density (ECD) contour of the (1 0 1) crystallographic plane. It is clear from the reflectivity spectra that both compounds have a high degree of reflectivity, which could make them useful as UV and visible light shields. From 0 to 14.0 eV, the approximated reflectivity values, R (ω), are displayed against the incident photon energy. Therefore, the reflectivity is around 30 % before E ≈ 12.0 eV and 40 % reflection at ∼13.0 eV. Phase matching is possible for both compounds detected, as shown by the birefringence computations. Furthermore, the radiation shielding properties of Ba2In2S5 and Ba2In2Te5 have been evaluated using Phy-X software, demonstrating their potential effectiveness in medical and nuclear energy applications. The thermoelectric properties display N-type nature at low temperatures when the Seebeck coefficient changes from N to P-type at higher temperature ranges. These compounds have remarkable optical and thermal properties, rendering them highly attractive materials for thermoelectric and optoelectronic devices. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
