Hybrid perovskite: Structural prototypes and DFT
Research Group Theory of Magnetic Materials (TMM)
Advanced Research Lab, Master Thesis
Hybrid perovskites have attracted considerable interest recently for their exceptional optoelectronic properties and potential applications in photovoltaics, light-emitting devices, and photodetectors, making them highly promising for next-generation technologies. In this project, AiiDA
workflow manager and VASP will be used to conduct high-throughput calculations to identify stable and high-performance two-dimensional (2D) perovskites.
This research focuses on the generation of 2D perovskite structures across different structural prototypes, including Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) and Dion-Jacobson (DJ) phases. The primary objective of this project is to investigate physical properties, such as shift current [1], in screened
perovskite candidates. Consequently, this project necessitates a strong motivation to work with various tools, including AiiDA [5], VASP [3, 2], Wannier90 [4], and Python.
