We investigate the impact of various levels of approximation in density functional theory calculations for the structural and binding properties of the prototypical halide perovskite MAPbI$_3$. Specifically, we test how the inclusion of…

This paper presents a multiscale approach to evaluate perovskite solar cell performance which determines material properties at the atomistic scale with first-principles calculations, and applies them in macro-scale device models. This work…

Using density functional theory, we investigate systematically mixed MA(Pb:Sn)X3 perovskites, where MA is CH3NH3+, and X is Cl, Br, or I. Ab initio calculations of the orthorhombic, tetragonal, and cubic perovskite phases show that the…

Ruddlesden-Popper hybrid halide perovskite are quasi-two-dimensional materials with a layered structure and structural dynamics that are determined by the interplay between the organic and inorganic layers. While their optical properties…

The remarkable optoelectronic, and especially photovoltaic performance of hybrid-organic-inorganic perovskite (HOIP) materials drives efforts to connect materials properties to this performance. From nano-indentation experiments on…

Structural stability, electronic structure and optical properties of CH3NH3BaI3 hybrid perovskite is examined both from theory as well as experiment. Solution-processed thin films of CH3NH3BaI3 exhibited a high band gap of approximately…

Although the structural phase transitions in single-crystal hybrid methyl-ammonium (MA) lead halide perovskites (MAPbX3, X = Cl, Br, I) are common phenomena, they have never been observed in the corresponding nanocrystals. Here we…

The energetics and the electronic structure of methylammonium lead bromine (CH3NH3PbBr3) perovskite (001) surfaces are studied based on density functional theory. By examining the surface grand potential, we predict that the…

Point defects in metal halide perovskites play a critical role in determining their properties and optoelectronic performance; however, many open questions remain unanswered. In this work, we apply impedance spectroscopy and deep-level…

Chalcogenide perovskites offer superior thermal and aqueous stability as well as a benign elemental composition compared to organic halide perovskites for optoelectronic applications. In this study, the structural, electrical, elastic,…

Hybrid halide perovskites are currently under intense investigation due to their potential applications in optoelectronics and solar cells. Among them, MAPbI$_3$ where MA stands for the methylammonium cation, exhibits ideal properties for…

Mixed-anion mixed-cation perovskites with (FAPbI$_3$)$_{1-x}$(MAPbBr$_3$)$_x$ composition have allowed record efficiencies in photovoltaic solar cells, but their atomic-scale behaviour is not well understood yet, in part because their…

By performing spatially resolved Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy with varying excitation wavelength, density, and data acquisition parameters, we have achieved a unified understanding towards the spectroscopy signatures of the…

The hybrid perovskites [CH$_3$NH$_3$]Co$_x$Ni$_{x-1}$(HCOO)$_3$ with $x$ = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 possess multiple phase transitions including incommensurate structures. [CH$_3$NH$_3$]Ni(HCOO)$_3$ has also been found to have a proper…

Organic-inorganic halide perovskites have been intensively re-investigated due to their applications, yet the opto-electronic function of the organic cation remains unclear. Through organic-selective resonant Auger electron spectroscopy…

The long charge carrier lifetime of the hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) is the key for their remarkable performance as a solar cell material. The microscopic mechanism for the long lifetime is still in debate. Here, by using…

Organic-inorganic halide CH$_3$NH$_3$PbI$_3$ solar cells have attracted enormous attention in recent years due to their remarkable power conversion efficiency. When inversion symmetry is broken, these materials should exhibit interesting…

The instability of organometal halide perovskites when in contact with water is a serious challenge to their feasibility as solar cell materials. Although studies of moisture exposure have been conducted, an atomistic understanding of the…

We present an \textit{ab initio} molecular dynamics study of the temperature-induced phases of methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr$_3$). We confirm that the low-temperature phase is not ferroelectric, and rule out the existence of any…

Hybrid organometal halide perovskites (HP) present exceptional optoelectronic properties, but their poor long-term stability is a major bottleneck for their commercialization. Herein, we present a solvent-free approach to growing…
