Conference Description

Discovery of new materials has been the backbone of rapid technological revolution. Metal-halide perovskites, a new class of semiconductors, have recently drawn enormous interest for their potential in cost-effective, high-performance optoelectronics. Discussions at this GRC will encompass fundamental materials physics and chemistry of the metal halides, as well as their applications in solar energy harvesting, energy-efficient lighting, and radiation detection.
