Interface-induced nonradiative recombination losses at the perovskite/electron transport layer (ETL) are an impediment to improving efficiency and stability of inverted (p-i-n) perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Tridecafluorohexane-1-sulfonic acid potassium (TFHSP) is employed as a multifunctional dipole molecule modify surface. The solid coordination hydrogen bonding efficiently passivate surface defects, thereby reducing recombination. induced positive between ETLs improves energy band...
Abstract Metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as an important direction for photovoltaic research. Although the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of lead‐based PSCs has reached 25.7%, still toxicity Pb remains one main obstacle commercial adoption. Thus, to address this issue, Pb‐free perovskites been proposed. Among them, tin‐based promising candidates. Unfortunately, fast oxidation Sn 2+ 4+ leads low stability and efficiency. Many strategies implemented these challenges...

The properties of kagome metals are governed by the interdependence band topology and electronic correlations resulting in remarkably rich phase diagrams. Here, we study temperature evolution bulk structure antiferromagnetic metal FeGe using infrared spectroscopy. We uncover drastic changes low-energy interband absorption at 100 K structural transition that has been linked to a charge-density-wave (CDW) instability. explain this effect minuscule Fe displacement plane, which results parallel...

Abstract Metal halide perovskite solar cells may work for application in extreme temperatures, such as those experienced under extraterrestrial conditions. However, device performances temperatures are poorly investigated. This systematically explores the performance of between −160 and 150 °C. In situ grazing‐incidence wide‐angle X‐ray scattering discloses phase transition crystal disordering dominant factors temperature‐dependent efficiency deterioration. It is shown that lattice strain...
Interfaces in perovskite solar cells play a crucial role their overall performance, and therefore, detailed fundamental studies are needed for better understanding. In the case of classical n-i-p architecture, TiO2 is one most used electron-selective layers can induce chemical reactions that influence performance device stack. The interfacial properties at TiO2/perovskite interface often neglected, owing to difficulty accessing this interface. Here, we use X-rays variable energies study...
Studying the magnetic ground states of frustrated antiferromagnets provides unique insight into stability quantum spin liquids, even if anticipated state is not realized towards T = 0. Particularly relevant are structural modifications setting in at temperatures where correlations come play.

We observe significant changes phonon spectra Ts 32 K,...

The heavy-fermion compound ${\mathrm{CeRhIn}}_{5}$ can be tuned through a quantum critical point, when In is partially replaced by Sn. this way additional charge carriers are introduced and the antiferromagnetic order gradually suppressed to zero temperature. Here we investigate temperature-dependent optical properties of $\mathrm{CeRh}{({\mathrm{In}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sn}}_{x})}_{5}$ single crystals for $x=4.4%$, 6.9%, 9.8%. With increasing Sn concentration infrared conductivity...
