Lead (Pb) halide perovskites have attracted tremendous attention in recent years because of their rich optoelectronic properties, which resulted more than 22% power conversion efficient photovoltaics (PVs). Nevertheless, Pb-metal toxicity remains a huge hurdle for extensive applications these compounds. Thus, alternative compounds with similar properties need to be developed. Bismuth possesses electronic structure that lead the presence ns2 electrons exhibit structural variety as well...
We present the first direct measurement of electric polarizability isolated C60 molecules by molecular beam deflection technique. have obtained a value 76.5±8.0 Å3 which is consistent with most recent calculations and slightly lower than measured in fullerite crystals.
Bismuth-based halide perovskite derivatives have now attracted huge attention for photovoltaic (PV) applications after the unparalleled success of lead-based perovskites. However, performances PV devices based on these compounds are poor, despite theoretical predictions. In this Article, we investigated electronic structure and defect formation energies Cs3Bi2I9 using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The calculated bandstructure indicates an indirect bandgap high carrier...
Abstract Bismuth‐based ternary halides have recently gained a lot of attention as lead‐free perovskite materials. However, photovoltaic performances these devices remain poor, mostly due to their low‐dimensional crystal structure and large bandgap. Here, dynamic hot casting technique fabricate silver bismuth iodide‐based solar cells under an ambient atmosphere with power conversion efficiencies above 2.5% is demonstrated. Silver iodides are 3D analogs complex suitable bandgap for single...
Classical Rayleigh theory predicts an instability of a surface charged liquid sphere, when the Coulomb energy E(C) exceeds twice E(S). Previously, electrified droplets have been found to disintegrate at fissility X=E(C)/2E(S) well below one, however. We determine stability in electrodynamic levitator by observing amplitude and phase their quadrupolar shape oscillations as function fissility. With this novel approach, which does not rely on independent determination charge tension droplets,...
The multiple ionization of alkali-metal clusters by low energy ions is investigated experientially for the first time. Multi-ionized possibly undergoing Coulomb dissociation are formed and detected.

Critical sizes...
Excitation energies and associated oscillator strengths for dipole-excited states of alkali-metal clusters--treated as jellium spheres--are calculated in the random-phase approximation (RPA). Closed-shell systems with 8, 20, 34, 40, 58, 92 delocalized electrons are considered. The ground state is described Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation. excitation spectrum determined by solving RPA equations. Exchange contributions taken into account completely. theoretical oscillator-strength distribution...

Static electric dipole polarizabilities of lithium clusters made n $(n=2--22)$ atoms have been measured. The experiment consists deflecting a collimated cluster beam through static inhomogeneous field. strong decrease per atom from Li to ${\mathrm{Li}}_{3}\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{Li}}_{4}$ shows that electronic delocalization is reached for very small sizes. Moreover, directly measured are consistent with photoabsorption data. They thus confirm unambiguously the ``missing'' optical strength in...
