Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (LHP NCs) - the latest generation of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) - possess dynamic, entropically stabilized soft lattices and electronically benign surfaces that, remarkably, do not compromise their textbook semiconductor optical quality. They are intrinsically bright emitters without the need for epitaxial wide-bandgap shells. In recent years, LHP NCs have emerged as the most intensively studied QD material, challenging the field's foundational paradigms in nearly every respect. They are the first QDs to exhibit excitonic coherence on timescales comparable to their radiative lifetimes. Their giant oscillator strength effect enables extremely fast emission (lifetimes as short as 60 ps) even in relatively large NCs, while maintaining single-photon emission. The excitonic fine structure of LHP QDs can be readily engineered through shape anisotropy. Periodic ensembles of LHP NCs have further demonstrated collective, accelerated radiative decay - superfluorescence - a phenomenon previously unseen in colloidal systems. This property unlocks future prospects of devising deterministic N-photon sources, through creation of N-QDs aggregate states. Our latest work focuses on expanding the operation of perovskite QDs to the red and near-infrared ranges, available with fully Tin-based and Lead-Tin-based compositions. The key enabler is to attain and maintain sufficiently low self-doping levels (originating from Sn vacancies and oxidation), in particular, through de-doping strategies and core-shell morphologies. The presentation will encompass our latest works along these research lines.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
