In the past decade, research on hybrid perovskites has made significant progress, but there are still material design challenges to be addressed. The dispersed nature of the data requires the establishment of material property databases for systematic research. Additionally, the importance of information related to different material attributes and properties is emphasized when using machine learning tools to solve problems.
Over the past decade, hybrid perovskite research has evolved to a point where the literature contains an enormous volume of chemical and physical information. However, many essential material design challenges remain open for researchers to address. The dispersed nature of the large, rapidly growing body of hybrid perovskite materials data poses a barrier to systematic discovery efforts, which can be solved by materials property databases, either by high-throughput or by systematic, accurate human-curated efforts. This opinioned review article discusses the necessity, challenges, and requirements of building such data libraries. In light of using machine learning (ML) and related tools to solve specific problems, the importance of information related to different material attributes and properties is also highlighted.

Our results demonstrate the numerical precision and usefulness of LRI in RPA gradient evaluations.

Boron nitride on SiC(0001)

You-Ron Lin, Markus Franke, Shayan Parhizkar, Miriam Raths, Victor Wen-zhe Yu, Tien-Lin Lee, Serguei Soubatch, Volker Blum, F. Stefan Tautz, Christian Kumpf, Francois C. Bocquet

Summary: In this study, the surface structures of a boron nitride template layer prepared at lower temperatures in a surfactant atmosphere were investigated. Contrary to previous literature, the template layer was found to be a hexagonal BxNy layer instead of high-quality hBN. It gradually transformed into low-quality graphene upon annealing.

Phase Stability, Band Gap Tuning, and Rashba Splitting in Selenium-Alloyed Bournonite: CuPbSb(S1-XSeX)3

Eric T. Chang, Gabrielle Koknat, Garrett C. McKeown Wessler, Yi Yao, Volker Blum, David B. Mitzi

Summary: Recently, researchers have discovered the potential of bournonite (CuPbSbS3) as a ferroelectric photovoltaic (PV) material with a band gap of 1.3 eV. Studies have shown successful thin-film processing of bournonite, achieving a power conversion efficiency of 2.65% for a bournonite-based PV device. In this study, the solid-state synthesis of selenium-alloyed bournonite, CuPbSb(S1-xSex)3, was investigated across the entire range of x (0.0 <= x <= 1.0), and phase purity was reported for 0.0 <= x <= 0.5. Characterization of the samples revealed a decrease in band gap from 1.25 eV at x = 0.0 to 1.06 eV at x = 0.5.

Summary: We demonstrate the use of Google's cloud-based Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) to accelerate and scale up conventional (cubic scaling) density functional theory (DFT) calculations. By utilizing 512 TPU cores, we achieved the largest ever DFT computation, involving 247848 orbitals and a cluster of 10327 water molecules with 103270 electrons. Our work opens up new possibilities for accessible and systematic use of conventional DFT calculations at unprecedented scales, free from any system-specific constraints.

Rational Design of Non-Centrosymmetric Hybrid Halide Perovskites

Rayan Chakraborty, Parikshit Kumar Rajput, Gokul M. Anilkumar, Shabnum Maqbool, Ranjan Das, Atikur Rahman, Pankaj Mandal, Angshuman Nag

Summary: Structural non-centrosymmetry in semiconducting organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskites introduces functionalities like anomalous photovoltaics and nonlinear optical properties. By creating dissimilar non-covalent interactions at the organic-inorganic interface, Pb- and Bi-based two- and one-dimensional hybrid perovskites with polar non-centrosymmetric space groups can be designed. The non-centrosymmetry results in visible to infrared tunable nonlinear optical properties and anomalous photovoltaic effect in (MIPA)2PbI4 and (H3N-(CH2)3-NH(CH3)2)BiI5.

Chiral Cation Doping for Modulating Structural Symmetry of 2D Perovskites

Yi Xie, Jack Morgenstein, Benjamin G. G. Bobay, Ruyi Song, Naidel A. M. S. Caturello, Peter C. C. Sercel, Volker Blum, David B. B. Mitzi

Summary: Cation mixing in 2D HOIP structures is an important factor for modifying organic templating effects and tailoring inorganic structures. In this study, a chiral-chiral mixed-cation system is demonstrated, where a small amount of chiral cation S-2-MeBA can be doped into S-BrMBA(2)PbI4 to modulate the structural symmetry. The concentration of S-2-MeBA determines the structural change from higher symmetry state (C2) to the lowest symmetry state (P1). Atomic occupancy analysis suggests that a specific S-BrMBA cation site is preferentially substituted by S-2-MeBA. The chiral cation doping system provides a material design strategy for enhancing emergent properties sensitive to symmetry breaking.

Structure and electronic tunability of acene alkylamine based layered hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites from first principles

Ruyi Song, Chi Liu, Yosuke Kanai, David B. Mitzi, Volker Blum

Summary: This study investigates twelve layered hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites by first-principles density functional theory (DFT), revealing tunability of band gap, quantum well type, and spin-dependent energy band properties. A refined structure is identified for (NMA)(2)PbCl4 and a new, lower-energy structure is suggested for (AMA)(2)PbCl4. The DFT based search methodology is applied to predict the likely structures for the six unknown compounds. The computed energy levels reveal tunable type I quantum well alignments and potential for spin-dependent transport properties and tunable chiroptical applications.
