Effects of maxed-valence states on electronic structures of europium (Eu)-incorporated CH(NH2)2PbI3 (FAPbI3) and CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) perovskite crystals were investigated by first-principles calculation. Partial replacements of europium ions into the perovskite crystal influenced the electronic structures and the effective mass related to carrier mobility. In the case of the FAPb(Eu+3)I3 crystal, there was wide distribution of the 5p orbital of iodine near the valence band, and the 3d orbital of the Eu3+ ion near the conductive band. The incorporation of Eu3+ ion into the crystal slightly caused to increase the effective mass ratio (me*/m0, mh*/m0) as compared with those of the FAPbI3 crystal, provided the wide distribution of 3d, 4f-5p hybrid orbitals near the valence band, and influenced the band dispersion with a decrease of me*/m0 and mh*/m0, which is expected for improving the carrier mobility. The chemical shifts of 127I-NMR of the MAPb(Eu2+)I3 crystal indicated isotropic behavior. The chemical shifts of 157Eu-NMR and g-tensor depended on the quadrupole interaction based on the electron field gradient and asymmetry parameter in the coordination structure. The electronic correlation based on hybrization of the 3d, 4f-5p orbital in the Eu2+-iodine band promoted the carrier itinerary, which was expected to improve the carrier mobility related to the short circuit current density and the conversion efficiency as the photovoltaic performance.
