The use of light signals to connect electronic components is a key element of today's data communication technologies, ...

The Team from Huazhong University of Science and Technology Reveals the Electro-Optic Effect Mechanism and Future ...

Therefore, the temperature dependence of the elastic properties of ferroelectric phase transitions ... the A-site for the development of lead-free perovskite ferroelectrics. For the first step ...

Their paper, published in Physical Review Letters, theoretically demonstrates that some ferroelectric perovskites could exhibit giant photocaloric (PC) effects, which persist across a far wider ...

‘Perovskite’ is a term used to describe a group of materials that have a distinctive crystal structure of cuboid and diamond shapes. They have long been of interest for their superconducting, ...

The team was also able to categorize the materials into distinct groups, including seven important ferroelectric families, providing a global landscape of the entire compositional space. The team took ...

Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have built a lead halide perovskite solar cell incorporating an organic cation based on benzodithiophene (BDT), a polymer that ...

The remaining challenge is to figure out how to make the tandems at low cost. In the last few years perovskite semiconductors have emerged as one of the most promising materials for solar cells. The ...

One of the technologies being worked on is called PeLED, for Perovskite LED. As a semiconductor material, it can both be induced to emit photons as well as respond rather strongly to incoming photons.
