Halide perovskites: third generation photovoltaic materials empowered by metavalent bonding
Matthias Wuttig, Carl-Friedrich Schoen, Mathias Schumacher +4
Third-generation photovoltaic (PV) materials combine many advantageous properties, including a high optical absorption together with a large charge carrier mobility, facilitated by…
Opto-electronic properties and solar cell efficiency modelling of CuZnXS (X=Sn,Ge,Si) kesterites
Thomas Ratz, Jean-Yves Raty, Guy Brammertz +2
In this work, first principle calculations of CuZnSnS (CZTS), CuZnGeS (CZGS) and CuZnSiS (CZSS) are performed to highlight the impact of the cationic substi…
Metavalent bonding in crystalline solids: how does it collapse?
L. Guarneri, S. Jakobs, A. von Hoegen +10
The chemical bond is one of the most powerful, yet controversial concepts in chemistry, explaining property trends in solids. Recently, a novel type of chemical bonding has been id…
Discovering electron transfer driven changes in chemical bonding in lead chalcogenides (PbX, where X = Te, Se, S, O)
S. Maier, S. Steinberg, Y. Cheng +8
Understanding the nature of chemical bonding in solids is crucial to comprehend the physical and chemical properties of a given compound. To explore changes in chemical bonding in…
