Halide perovskites are the centre of many recent studies in areas as diverse
as chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, materials science and
nanotechnologies. They are materials to develop photovoltaic technology for
solar energy. To this end, I will briefly discuss the recent research progress in
this field and introduce some newly modelled hypothetical BMY3 perovskite
compounds in 3D that display band structures, octahedral tilting, materials
properties, electronic structures and stabilities that are analogous with the
most studied methylammonium lead triiodide solar cell semiconductor.
Various featured aspects of these materials such as Rashba splitting, as well
as the importance of hydrogen-, halogen- and other noncovalent bonding
interactions will be discussed to demonstrate how important are they for the
design of such highly valued functional materials. A brief discussion will be
provided on factors that influence the degradation of these materials.
Biography
Pradeep R Varadwaj completed his PhD in 2008 from Saha
Institute of Nuclear Physics (Jadavpur University, Kolkata, IN-
DIA). Okayama National University (JAPAN) has conferred on
him a DSc degree in the mid of 2011. He has travelled many
countries such as Japan, Canada, Taiwan and South Africa for
his Postdoctoral studies. He was a recipient of several of presti-
gious fellowships, of which the notable ones are JSPS (JAPAN)
and Quebec Merit Scholarships (Canada) for foreigners. He is
serving as a Senior Research Professor in the Department of
Chemical System of the University of Tokyo, Japan since Sep-
tember 2015. His areas of expertise are spectroscopy, noncova-
lent interactions and materials science. His current research is
centred on the theoretical investigations diverse chemical com-
pounds, essential for the fundamental understanding of their
chemistry; particularly on the modelling of halide perovskite
solar cells. He has published more than 40 papers in reputed
journals and has been serving as a reviewer for many journals
of international repute.
