The self-consistent band structure calculation of PbSnS₃ and PbGeS₃ ternary compounds with the mixed cation coordination was performed using the ab initio density functional theory method. It has been found that both compounds are indirect-gap semiconductors. The calculated band-gap widths are Egi =...
