Research Highlights
A Ga2O3/CsPbBr3 solid‐state diode for indirect neutron detection is demonstrated by Dr. Manuel Quevedo‐Lopez and his group. This is enabled by a novel solvent‐free deposition method that allows CsPbBr3 films with pure CsPbBr3 perovskite phase, controlled stoichiometry and large grains.
Dr. William Vandenberghe and his group study the behavior of magnetic phase changes in critical temperature using first-principles density functional theory calculations and Monte Carlo simulations. Theoretical understanding of magnetism in 2D layered materials is of great importance for their possible use in futuristic spin-based technologies.
Aditya Mishra, a PhD student sponsored by an MSE affiliated professor, Dr. Jason Slinker, recently published an article that was selected as the cover story for the July 6, 2020 issue of Advanced Optical Materials. Mishra designed the cover art and is listed as first author of the paper, “Enhanced Operational Stability of Perovskite Light‐Emitting Electrochemical Cells Leveraging Ionic Additives”.
