Single Crystal and Thin Film Hybrid Perovskite Materials for Optoelectronic Applications

Abstract

Hybrid perovskites are a new class of materials that have attracted much attention because oftheir outstanding performance in photovoltaic cells. This high performance is thought to be dueto the long carrier lifetimes and diffusion lengths. In this fundamental research project, UTDallas and CIMAV propose to study the impact of composition and impurities on the electricalproperties of Pb-free hybrid perovskites, using both experimental and computational techniques.We will also study ways to reduce the degradation of the hybrid perovskite materials bydeveloping materials and strategies to encapsulate the materials. Ultimately we propose toapply these novel materials to the important field of radiation detectors, which are essential formedical and security applications.
