Center for Functional Nanomaterials Seminar

"Role of passive and dynamic defects in perovskite semiconductors"

Presented by Dr. Aditya Sadhanala, University of California, Berkeley and Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge

Monday, July 2, 2018, 1:30 pm — CFN, Bldg. 735, Conference Room B, 2nd Floor

My talk would be based on one of the most sensitive absorption measurement techniques called – Photothermal Deflection Spectroscopy (PDS). PDS possesses a capability of measuring absorption with 4-5 orders of magnitude dynamic range of sensitivity as compared to 1-2 orders of magnitude demonstrated by traditional absorption spectrometers. I will talk about how PDS works and how is it useful in undertaking some in-depth analysis of material quality, defects, new kind of states known as charge transfer states and doping, etc. I will explain the utility of this tool in various fields of research including solar cells, LEDs and FETs. I will also try to give a brief account on my current research on perovskite semiconductors. I will also introduce you to the exciting world of perovskite semiconductors and talk about the interesting role of defects in perovskites – both passive/static and dynamic defects.
