Type and Degree of Covalence: Empirical Derivation and Implications
Yevgeny Rakita, Thomas Kirchartz, Gary Hodes +1
The way atoms attach to each other defines the function(s), e.g., mechanical, optical, electronic, of a given material. The nature of the chemical bond is, therefore, one of the mo…
Between Structure and Performance in Halide Perovskites for Photovoltaic Applications: the Role of Defects
Yevgeny Rakita, David Cahen, Gary Hodes
My study is about Halide Perovskites (HaPs) and focuses the fundamental structural, chemical and dielectric properties of HaPs in reference to their PV-related properties. * I pres…
Tetragonal CH3NH3PbI3 Is Ferroelectric
Yevgeny Rakita, Omri Bar-Elli, Elena Meirzadeh +7
Halide perovskite (HaP) semiconductors are revolutionizing photovoltaic (PV) solar energy conversion by showing remarkable performance of solar cells made with esp. tetragonal meth…
Self-Repairing Energy Materials: Sine Qua Non for a Sustainable Future
David Cahen, Igor Lubomirky
Materials are central to our way of life and future. Energy and materials as resources are connected and the obvious connections between them are the energy cost of materials and t…
Large-area, ensemble molecular electronics: Motivation and challenges
Ayelet Vilan, Dinesh Aswal, David Cahen
We review charge transport across molecular monolayers, which is central to molecular electronics (MoE) using large-area junctions (NmJ). We strive to provide a wide conceptual ove…
Molecular Electronics by Chemical Modification of Semiconductor Surfaces
Ayelet Vilan, David Cahen
Inserting molecular monolayers within metal / semiconductor interfaces provides one of the most powerful expressions of how minute chemical modifications can affect electronic devi…
