Hybrid perovskite semiconductor materials are predicted to lock chirality into place and encode asymmetry their electronic states, while softness of crystal lattice accommodates strain maintain high quality with low defect densities, necessary for luminescence yields.

Hybrid organic-inorganic networks that incorporate chiral molecules have attracted great attention due to their potential in semiconductor lighting applications and optical communication.

The transformation of colloidal semiconductor magic-size clusters (MSCs) from zinc to cadmium chalcogenide (ZnE CdE) at low temperatures has received scant attention. Here, we report the first room-temperature evolution CdE MSCs ZnE samples and our interpretation pathway.

When Cd(OA)2 mixed, also form. propose reacts precursor compounds (PCs) but not directly MSCs. cation exchange...
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have achieved competitive power conversion efficiencies compared with established cell technologies.

Abstract Metal halide perovskites hold promise for nonepitaxial laser diodes, yet, continuous‐wave (CW) optically pumped (photonic) lasing in CsPbBr 3 remains elusive despite its superior thermal‐ and photo‐stability among the perovskite family.

Furthermore, electrically switchable gain is achieved assisted (EAOPL) devices by leveraging ion migration....

Antiferromagnets are promising materials for future opto-spintronic applications since they show spin dynamics in the THz range and no net magnetization. Recently, layered van der Waals (vdW) antiferromagnets have been reported, which combine low-dimensional excitonic properties with complex spin-structure. While various methods fabrication of vdW 2D crystals exist, formation large area continuous thin films is challenging because either limited scalability, synthetic complexity, or low...
