Manipulating the Thermoelectric Properties and Spin Dynamics of 2D- and 3D-Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Perovskites
Abstract
A key parameter in the development of spintronic and electronic technologies is the assembly of new materials or cleverly engineering interfaces between existing materials. Here, we propose to synthesize novel organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites for use in thermoelectric and spintronic applications. Also, this proposal seeks to generate a fundamental mechanistic understanding of the influence of crystal structure, morphology, doping, composition, and spins on the properties of hybrid perovskite thermoelectrics and spintronics. Our studies will shed light on new breakthroughs in both materials design and modulation of fundamental physical phenomena by carefully elucidating the role of spin-orbit coupling, electron-phonon coupling, and solid-state crystal chemistry on the performance of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite spintronic and electronic devices. We believe our findings will significantly impact both the spintronic and thermoelectric fields by providing new fabrication methods for highly-processable and low cost inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite materials with tunable properties. Understanding the spin and charge transport phenomena associated with electrical and thermal properties as well as the effects of spin-orbit coupling, magnetic doping, magneto-response, and spin-dynamics in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite systems is not only of scientific interest but has also significant technological impact not only on future spintronic and thermoelectric devices but even in non-spintronic devices where electronic transitions depend on spin manifolds.
