Opis

Perovskites are a class of recently discovered crystals with a multitude of innovative applications, including in solar devices. This book provides the first comprehensive account of theoretical aspects of perovskite solar cells and includes the latest cutting-edge research.

Recenzje

"Organohalide perovskites have emerged as a strong candidate for the next generation of thin film photovoltaics. This is a fantastic book shedding light onto the underlying physical properties of this material. It will be useful to a broad range of readers from young graduate students to senior researchers."
—Prof. Yang Yang, Carol and Lawrence E. Tannas Jr. Endowed Chair in Engineering, UCLA

O autorze

Giacomo Giorgi is an associate professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the University of Perugia, Italy. He has worked at the Department of Chemical System Engineering at the University of Tokyo, where he was a postdoc and later a senior researcher in the group led by Prof. Koichi Yamashita. He was formerly an assistant professor at the Research Centre for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST) at the University of Tokyo. His scientific interests focus on the theoretical analysis of materials for solar-to-energy conversion.

Koichi Yamashita has been a full professor at the Department of Chemical System Engineering at the University of Tokyo since 1994. He obtained both his undergraduate and graduate degrees at Kyoto University, supervised by Professor Kenichi Fukui. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow with Professor William Miller at the University of California, Berkeley. He has published more than 250 refereed journal articles in the fields of theoretical and computational chemistry.
