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…

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…

The presence of a point defect typically breaks the stoichiometry in a semiconductor. For example, a vacancy on an A-site in an AB compound makes the crystal B-rich. As the stoichiometry changes, so do the chemical potentials. While the…
