Publication date: 23rd April 2020
Organic-inorganic perovskites base on the generic formula ABX3 , where X denotes a halide anion and A and B stand for an organic and a metal cation, respectively. These hybrid compounds are semiconductors with highly interesting and tunable properties and are subject of intense research for several applications, mainly in solar cells but also as LEDs or lasers. For all these applications, knowledge of the optical properties is both of fundamental and practical interest. For example, detailed knowledge of the optical constants enables better designs for optimisation of the harvesting and out coupling of light in the mentioned devices. Tunability of the optical properties may be accomplished by site-substituted solid solutions in A, B, or X sites. In particular, some mixed-cation systems show increased stability for applications.
In this work, we report on the variation of the optical constants in mixed A-site cation methylammonium (MA)/formamidinium (FA) lead iodide hybrid FAxMA1−xPbI3 as measured and analysed by spectroscopic ellipsometry in single crystal samples at room temperature. The detailed structural phase behaviour of the samples is well established [1]. The main result in this work is the analysis of the observed electronic transitions as a function of the composition obtained from fitting the numerically built second derivatives of the dielectric function[2]. The results are discussed together with other optical measurements (f.i., photoluminescence) by relative comparison to the electronic structures of the parent compounds [3].

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
