Explore the fascinating world of metal halide perovskites in this 20-minute seminar by Prof. Julia Wiktor from Chalmers University of Technology. Delve into the impact of these materials' softness on their local structure and charge properties. Examine how dynamical structure influences fundamental properties and experimental measurements interpretation. Investigate charge localization through polaron formation, including computationally predicted polaronic states in lead and tin-based halide perovskites. Learn about modeling challenges, such as self-interaction, spin-orbit coupling, and temperature effects on polaronic state properties. Gain insights into the promising potential of halide perovskites for optoelectronic applications in this Lennard-Jones Centre discussion group seminar from October 17, 2022.
