Symposium EN04-Decoding Halide Perovskites—Advanced Characterization Towards Optimization and Discovery

Over the last decades, metal halide perovskites became the materials of choice for a variety of applications including solar cells, photodetectors, light emitting diodes, lasing, high energy radiation sensors and memristors. Functionality of these materials is controlled by an interplay between many different phenomena, including phase polymorphism, variations in dimensionality (zero to three dimensions), ionic dynamics, electrochemical processes, and transfer dynamics. Exploiting the full spectrum of the functionality of metal halide perovskites will only be made possible by developing a detailed understanding of both their physical properties and ionic and transfer dynamics. In this symposium, we aim to present the most recent advances in exploring metal halide perovskites materials and devices using advanced characterization techniques including optical spectroscopies, chemical imaging, electron/scanning-probe microscopy, Mossbauer spectrometry and other state-of-the-art spectroscopic and microscopic methods.

Topics will include:

Micro- and nano-scale characterization of halide perovskites
Excitons in perovskites
Hot carriers in perovskites
The role of interfaces in perovskite degradation
Electronic defects
Mapping and imaging of ions and their dynamics
The role of band alignment in perovskite solar cells
Surface chemistry
Perovskites deposited by vapor processes
