One of the main challenges for perovskite solar cells (PSC) is their stability, due to environment-induced perovskite decomposition. The resulting decomposition compounds are mobile and may, therefore, react with charge carrier extraction…

Iodide elpasolites (or double perovskites, A2B'B"I6, B' = M+, B" = M3+) are predicted to be promising alternatives to lead-based perovskite semiconductors for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications, but no iodide elpasolite has ever…

Extended defects such as stacking faults and anti-site domain boundaries can perturb the band edges in Cu$_2$ZnSnS$_4$ and Cu$_2$ZnSnSe$_4$, acting as a weak electron barrier or a source for electron capture, respectively. In order to find…
