Lead halide perovskites have emerged as promising materials for optoelectronic applications due to their exceptional properties. In the all-inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskites, ferroelastic domains formed during phase transitions enhance bulk…
Efficient thermoelectric materials should present large Seebeck coefficient, high electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity. An enhanced Seebeck coefficient can be obtained from materials where the Fermi level can be aligned with…
The application of ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) perovskites in near-infrared and visible-range optoelectronics has been limited owing to their inherent wide bandgaps, large excitonic binding energies and low optical absorption at higher…
The discovery of Heusler alloys has revolutionized the research field of intermetallics due to the ease with which one can derive potential candidates for multifunctional applications. During recent years, many half Heusler alloys have been…
The term defect tolerance (DT) is used often to rationalize the exceptional optoelectronic properties of Halide Perovskites (HaPs) and their devices. Even though DT lacked direct experimental evidence, it became a "fact" in the field. DT in…
