How unconventional oxidation state Au is stabilized in halide perovskite CsAuCl: a first-principles study of its polaron crystal nature
Kazuki Morita, Andrew M. Rappe
Gold in crystalline compounds is typically only stable in oxidation states Au1+ and Au3+. Even compounds with nominal Au2+ usually disproportionate into Au1+ and Au3+. Recently, Cs…

Direct spatiotemporal imaging of carriers reveals a long-lived bulk photovoltaic mechanism
Saptam Ganguly, Sebin Varghese, Aaron M. Schankler +6
The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), a manifestation of broken centrosymmetry, has attracted interest as a probe of the symmetry and quantum geometry of materials, and for use in p…

Inverted band gap trend through octahedral ordering in CsAuX (X=Cl, Br, I)
Kazuki Morita, Andrew M. Rappe
Double perovskites CsAuX (X=Cl, Br, I) are prototypical materials that exhibit charge disproportionation of gold into 1+ and 3+ states. It is known that the disproporti…
