The structural, elastic, and thermodynamic characteristics of the GaCaF3 and GaSrF3 halide perovskites have been predicted for the first time, using ab initio pseudopotential plane wave calculations. The equilibrium lattice parameters are in good agreement with previously documented results. Both co...
