Online (via Zoom)
An introductory course to the most promising semiconductor materials for efficient, low-cost and lightweight solution processed optoelectronics
An introductory course to the most promising semiconductor materials for efficient, low-cost and lightweight solution processed optoelectronics
During the last decade, metal-halide perovskites (MHPs) gained significant interest for the realization of optoelectronic devices, thanks to their remarkable physical properties: high and broadband absorption coefficient (> 105 cm-1), long charge-carrier diffusion length (in the range of μm for both electrons and holes) and lifetimes (~ 1 μs), tunable band-gap (through engineering of their chemical composition), low Urbach energies (~ 15 meV) and high defect tolerance. In MHPs, A is an atom (for fully inorganic perovskites) or an organic molecule (in the case of hybrid perovskites), B is a divalent metal and X is a halide atom. The deposition of MHP thin films is usually carried out by solution-based processing techniques such as slot-die coating, ink-jet printing, blade coating at low temperatures (i.e. 100 oC) that result in significantly lower manufacturing cost and environmental footprint. Due to their desired properties over standard semiconductor materials, MHPs have already demonstrated very promising results on a variety of devices such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, lasers, photodetectors, high energy radiation detectors, transistors and gas sensors.
This intensive course envisions providing an introduction to metal halide perovskite materials and the related applications. Our speakers are distinguished scientists in the topics they will present. We hope that this course will inspire you to follow more modules on the topic and join the world effort to advance the related technology.
The intensive course is organized by the Athena European University (Prof Konstantinos Petridis, Coordinator of the ATHENA observatory in higher education) and Dr. George Kakavelakis (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Marie Sklodowska-Curie – Grant Agreement n°101024237 – Individual Fellowship).
