Phase Behavior and Metastability in Hybrid Perovskites for
Photovoltaic and Photonic Applications
Summary: The PhD candidate will join the Quantum Beams & Sustainable
Materials Group at the Materials Physics Center in San Sebastian
(Spain). The group primarily uses neutron and X-ray scattering
techniques in combination with atomistic modelling to interrogate and
understand novel functional media for energy applications and
sustainability, in close collaboration with leading international
laboratories from around the globe. The primary aim of this project is
to explore the properties and phase behavior of hybrid perovskites
using these methodologies. In particular, this project is part of
wider efforts to understand and ultimately tailor the regimes of
stability and metastability of this emerging family of materials as a
function of external parameters such as temperature, pressure or
chemical environment, as well as to unveil the mechanisms underpinning
photovoltaic performance and degradation pathways under
physico-chemical conditions of technological relevance. We anticipate
that this body of work will pave the way for new and much-needed
insights into the primary bottlenecks currently hampering the
widespread use of hybrid perovskites in photovoltaic and photonic
applications.
