By using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction, the temperature dependent phase diagram of hybrid perovskite tri-halide compounds, methyl ammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3, MA+ = CH3NH3+) and bromide (MAPbBr3), as well their solid solutions, has been established. The existence a large miscibility gap between 0.29 ≤ x 0.92 (±0.02) for MAPb(I1-x Br )3 solution proven. A systematic study lattice parameters series at room revealed distinct deviations from Vegard's law. Furthermore, measurements showed...
Abstract Excellent conversion efficiencies of over 20 % and facile cell production have placed hybrid perovskites at the forefront novel solar materials, with CH 3 NH PbI being an archetypal compound. The question why has such extraordinary characteristics, particularly a very efficient power from absorbed light to electrical power, is hotly debated, ferroelectricity promising candidate. This does, however, require crystal structure be non‐centrosymmetric we herein present crystallographic...
This paper discusses the full structural solution of hybrid perovskite formamidinium lead tribromide (FAPbBr 3 ) and its temperature-dependent phase transitions in range from K to 300 using neutron powder diffraction synchrotron X-ray diffraction.

The hybrid halide perovskites MAPbI$_{3}$, MAPbI$_{2.94}$Cl$_{0.06}$, and MAPbCl$_{3}$ (MA - methylammonium) have been investigated using inelastic quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) with the aim of elucidating impact chloride substitution on rotational dynamics MA.

Through a comparative temperature-dependent investigation different energy resolutions, which allow wide...
Applications of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond quantum technology have attracted considerable attention recent years. Deterministic generation ensembles NV can advance the research on sensing, many-body systems, multipartite entanglement, and so on. Here we report complete process controlled as well their characterization: growing films through chemical vapor deposition (CVD), ion implantation, spectroscopic characterization defect using a confocal microscope. A microwave-assisted...
In recent years, inorganic cesium–lead–halide perovskites, CsPbX3 (X = I, Br, Cl), have attracted interest for optoelectronic applications such as highly efficient thin-film light-emitting diodes or wide-gap absorber materials photovoltaics. However, phase segregation and secondary phases in as-deposited thin films are still considered to be limiting factors devices based on CsPbX3. Here, we report a correlative electron microscopy spectroscopy approach the identification of their...
