Exciton and Carrier Dynamics in Two-Dimensional Perovskites

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Etienne Christophe Socie, Marine Eva Fedora Bouduban, Andrés Burgos Caminal

Two-dimensional Ruddlesden−Popper hybrid lead halide perovskites have become a major topic in perovskite optoelectronics. Here, we aim to unravel the ultrafast dynamics governing the evolution of charge carriers and excitons in these materials. Using a com ...

Structural, electronic, elastic, power, and transport properties of beta-Ga2O3 from first principles

Samuel Poncé, Feliciano Giustino

We investigate the structural, electronic, vibrational, power, and transport properties of the beta allotrope of Ga2O3 from first principles. We find phonon frequencies and elastic constants that reproduce the correct band ordering, in agreement with exper ...

Ultra-broadband time-resolved THz spectroscopy of perovskites and nanomaterials

Andrés Burgos Caminal

The fundamental study of charge carrier dynamics has been shown to be of great interest for optoelectronics, paving the way forward for future developments. Often, some of the key processes that determine the photophysics of a material occur on very short ...

Unravelling the structural complexity and photophysical properties of adamantyl-based layered hybrid perovskites

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Ursula Röthlisberger, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Jovana Milic, Marko Mladenovic, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Mohammad Ibrahim Dar, Yang Li, Amita Ummadisingu, Paramvir Ahlawat, Brian Irving Carlsen, Farzaneh Jahanbakhshi, Algirdas Ducinskas

Layered hybrid perovskites comprising adamantyl spacer (A) cations based on the A(2)FA(n-1)Pb(n)I(3n+1)(n= 1-3, FA = formamidinium) compositions have recently been shown to act as promising materials for photovoltaic applications. While the corresponding p ...

Electron and Hole Polarons at the BiVO4-Water Interface

Alfredo Pasquarello, Julia Anna Wiktor

We determine the transition levels of electron and hole polarons at the BiVO4-water interface through thermodynamic integration within a hybrid functional scheme, thereby accounting for the liquid nature of the water component. The electron polaron is foun ...

Tailoring thermal conduction in anatase TiO2

László Forró, Luca Rossi, Endre Horvath, Helmuth Berger, Andrea Pisoni, Jacim Jacimovic, Péter Szirmai, Xavier François Mettan

Thermal conductivity (κ) plays an essential role in functional devices. It is advantageous to design materials where one can tune κ in a wide range according to its function: single-crystals and nanowires of anatase polymorph of titanium dioxide, broadly u ...

Enhanced Electron-Phonon Interaction in Multivalley Materials

Nicola Marzari, Marco Gibertini, Helmuth Berger, Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier, Evgeniy Ponomarev

We report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation that reveals a new mechanism responsible for the enhancement of electron-phonon coupling in doped semiconductors in which multiple inequivalent valleys are simultaneously populated. Using Rama ...

Influence of free charge carrier density on the magnetic behavior of (Zn,Co)O thin film studied by Field Effect modulation of magnetotransport

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Anne Lehnert

The origin of (ferro)magnetic ordering in transition metal doped ZnO is a still open question. For applications it is fundamental to establish if it arises from magnetically ordered impurity clusters embedded into the semiconducting matrix or if it origina ...

Excitonic effects in two-dimensional TiSe2 from hybrid density functional theory

Oleg Yazyev, Diego José Pasquier

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), whether in bulk or in monolayer form, exhibit a rich variety of charge-density-wave (CDW) phases and stronger periodic lattice distortions. While the actual role of nesting has been under debate, it is well understo ...

Mobility of two-dimensional materials from first principles in an accurate and automated framework

Nicola Marzari, Marco Gibertini, Davide Campi, Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier

We present a first-principles approach to compute the transport properties of 2D materials in an accurate and automated framework. We use density-functional perturbation theory in the appropriate bidimensional setup with open-boundary conditions in the thi ...
