The electronic and optical properties of the Cs₃Bi₂X₉ (X=Cl, Br, I) was emphatically explored theoretically by density functional theory methods based on first principles, and the influence of interference effect on the these three crystals is systematically elucidated. Our results reveal that the optical properties of the three materials are dominated by the valence electrons in p-orbitals of the Bi and halogen atoms. In the visible region, the absorption peaks have a red shift with increase of atomic number of halogen increases. The optical absorption is special and very sensitive to the interference structure on one-dimensional Cs₃Bi₂Cl₉, but not to that of two-dimensional Cs₃Bi₂Br₉ and zero-dimensional Cs₃Bi₂I₉. The thickness of the Cs₃Bi₂Br₉ film also influences the optical properties. While the zero-dimensional Cs₃Bi₂I₉ is almost unaffected by crystal thickness and surface characteristic.
