Photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices based on hybrid metal halide perovskites ($MAPbX_3$; $MA=CH_3NH_3{^+}$, $X=Cl^-$, $Br^-$, or $I^-$) are rapidly improving in power conversion efficiency. Also, during recent years, perovskite single crystals have emerged as promising materials for high-efficiency photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices because of their low defect density. Here we show that the light soaking effect of mixed halide perovskite ($MAPbBr_{3-x}I_x$) single crystals can be explained using photoluminescence, time-resolved photoluminescence, and Raman scattering measurements. Unlike Br-based single crystal, Br/I mixed single crystal show a strong light soaking effect under laser irradiation condition that was related to the existence of multiple phases.

After the specimen of A-site defect perovskite $La_{1/3}NbO_3$ single crystal was manufactured, the dielectric properties were studied between the temperature range of 10 and 800 K. The dielectric anomaly appeared at 50 K and 650 K, and, at about 650 K, the thermal hysteresis of dielectric constant was shown. The ac-conductivity of bulk showed the lowest activation energy of 0.43 eV at 560~690 K. Based on the results, it is assumed that the dielectric anomaly at 50K and 650 K was due to the antiparallel shift of $Nb^{5+}$-ion and the rearrangement of $Nb^{3+}$-ion, respectively.

After the specimen of A-site defect double Perovskite La1/3TaO3 single crystal was manufactured, the dielectric properties have been studied between the temperature range of 10 and 800 K. Under 500 K, a paraelectric behavior has been shown, and above 550 K, a dielectric anomaly and a thermal history of dielectric constant has been shown. An activation energy by measurement of ac-conductivity has been the largest with 1.83 eV in the areas below 560 K, 0.35 eV in the areas of 560~690 K, and 0.28 eV in the areas of high temperature above 690 K. From these results, it is assumed that in the areas below 500 K, La3+-ion and vacancy-site are arranged in disorder to maintain a paraelectric phase. And in the areas near 560 K with the highest activation energy, a dielectric anomaly is attributes to rearrangement of La3+-ion due to conduction to vacancy-site or jumping.

Organic-inorganic halide perovskite single crystals undergo phase transition of being cubic, tetragonal, or orthorhombic depending on the temperature. We investigated the $CH_3NH_3PbBr_{3-x}I_x$ single crystals grown by the inverse temperature crystallization method with temperature-dependent UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence. From the temperature-dependent absorption measurement, the optical band gap is extracted by derivation of absorption spectrum fitting and Tauc plot. In our results, $CH_3NH_3PbBr_{3-x}I_x$ single crystals show that an abrupt change in optical band gap, PL peak position and intensity appears around 120 K - 170 K regions, indicating the phase transition temperature.

Lead halide perovskites CH3NH3PbX3 (X=Cl, Br, I) have received great interest in the past few years because of their excellent photoelectronic properties as well as their low-cost solution process. Their theoretical efficiency limit of the solar cell devices was predicted around 31% by a detailed balance model for the reason that exceptional light-harvesting and superior carrier transport properties. Additionally, these excellent properties contribute to the applications of optoelectronic devices such as LASERs, LEDs, and photodetectors. Since these devices are mainly using perovskite thin film, one of the most important factor to decide the efficiency of these applications is the quality of the film. Even though, optoelectrical devices are composed of polycrystalline thin film in general, not a single crystalline form which has longer carrier diffusion length and lower trap density. For these reasons, monodomain perovskite thin films have potential to elicit an optimized device efficiency. In this study, we analyzed the crystallography of the in-plane aligned perovskite thin film by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). Also the basic optic properties of perovskites were checked using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-Vis spectrum. From this work, the perovskite which is aligned in all directions both of out-of-plane and in-plane was fabricated and analyzed.

[ $R_{1/3}Sr_{2/3}FeO_{3}$ ](R=Pr, Nd, and Sm) was synthesized and their magnetic properties and charge ordering(CO) transition related with lattice dynamics and oxygen vacancy were systematically investigated. The charge disproportion ation(CD) in $R_{1/3}Sr_{2/3}FeO_{3}$(R=Pr,Nd) was in which two kins of iron with valence state $Fe^{3+}$ and $Fe^{5+}$ were found with ratio of 2:1. In this charge ordering state a sequence of $Fe^{3+}Fe^{3+}Fe^{5+}Fe^{3+}Fe^{3+}Fe^{5+}$ exists aligned along the [111] direction of the pseudocubic perovskite structure. The charge ordering exist in distorted structure involving $t_{pd}$ hybridization. The disordering phases coexist in distorted structure as temprature in creases that is controlled amount of oxygen vacancy. The magnetic hyperfine fields indicate charge tranfering temperature as it dissapeared drastically.

Methylammonium lead halide ($MAPbX_3$, X = I, Br) thin films, used as the light absorber of perovskite solar cells, were prepared using the dual feed ultrasonic spray method. Going through a deposition at a substrate temperature of below $60^{\circ}C$ and then a final heat treatment at $75^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes using dual feed ultrasonic spray method, $MAPbI_3$ single phase could be formed. Whereas undergoing a deposition at temperatures above $80^{\circ}C$, the spheroidal grains could be changed into rod-shaped fractal structures due to the decomposition of the perovskite phase. Furthermore, using the same method at a higher heat treatment temperature of $100^{\circ}C$, $MAPbI_{3-x}Br_x$ thin films could also be formed from $MAPbI_3$ and $MAPbIBr_2$ solution.

Abstract The stoichiometric and double-ordered perovskite $Sr_2FeMoO_6$ (SFMO) polycrystalline ceramics were fabricated by sintering at above $900^{\circ}C$ in $H_2$(5%)/Ar reductive ambient. SMO polycrystals showed good ferromagnetic properties andmagnetrotesistqnce ratios of about 15 % at 8K and 3 % at room temperature. Amorphous SFMO thin films were deposited on $LaA1O_3$ and $SrTiO_3$ single crystal substrates using rf sputtering method with the SFMO polycrystalline ceramic target. Double-ordered perovskite polycrystalline SFMO thin films were fabricated by solid state crystallization by annealing the deposited amorphous films at above $680^{\circ}C$ in $H_2$(5%)/Ar reductive ambient. SFMO thin films exhibited ferromagnetic behavior. Their magnetroresistance ratios, however, were only 0.3~0.5% at 8K and disappeared with increasing the measuring temperature. This was attributed to the absence of magnetic spin tunneling between grains due to the porous structure and non-stoichiometric composition of the deposited films.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a new class of photovoltaic devices, which have attracted significant attention due to their remarkable optoelectrical properties, including high absorption coefficients, high carrier mobilities, long carrier diffusion lengths, tunable bandgaps, low cost, and facile fabrication. PSCs have reached efficiencies of 22.70% and 18.36% on rigid fluorine-doped tin oxide and poly(ethylene terephthalate) substrates, respectively; these are comparable to those of single-crystal silicon and copper-indium-gallium-selenium solar cells. Over the past eight years, the photo conversion efficiency of PSCs has been significantly improved by device-architecture adjustments, and absorber and electron/hole transport layer optimization. Each layer is important for the performance of PSCs; hence, we discuss achievements in flexible perovskite solar cells (FPSCs), covering electron/hole-transport materials, electrode materials. We give a comprehensive overview of FPSCs and put forward suggestions for their further development.

We have successfully grown <111>-oriented $(La,Sr)(Al,Ta)O_{3}\;(LSAT)$ mixed-perovskite single crystals and <0001>-oriented ${Ca_{8}La_{2}(PO_{4})}_{6}O_2$ (CLPA) single crystals with the apatite structure by the Czochralski method. The compositional and lattice parameter uniformity of the crystals are discussed in relation to the growth conditions. Since LSAT and CLPA single crystals have excellent lattice matching with GaN, they are promising as new substrates for the growth of high quality GaN epitaxial layers.
