Emerging Materials and Applications - Metal Halide Perovskites and 2D Materials

Halide perovskites have recently attracted considerable attention as potentially revolutionary semiconductor materials because of their excellent optical and electronic properties as well their capacity for high-throughput manufacturing. In the past decade, tremendous progress has been made in fabricating high-performance devices including photovoltaic cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), laser, and radiation detectors with performances approaching and even exceeding the current state-of-the-art commercial technologies. In this focused session, we cover fundamental materials chemistry, electronic and optical properties, and device engineering of this exciting new family of semiconductor materials.
