Jungseok Chae, Sangmin An, Georg Ramer, Vitalie Stavila, Glenn Holland, Yohan Yoon, Alec Talin, Mark Allendorf, Vladimir Aksyuk, Andrea Centrone
The atomic force microscope (AFM) offers a rich observation window on the nanoscale, yet many dynamic phenomena are too fast and too weak for direct detection, urging measurement innovation. Integrated cavity-optomechanics is revolutionizing

CH3NH3PbI3 perovskites: Ferroelasticity revealed

April 14, 2017
Author(s)
Evgheni Strelcov, Qingfeng Dong, Tao Li, Jungseok Chae, Yuchuan Shao, Yehao Deng, Alexei Gruveman, Jinsong Huang, Andrea Centrone
Ferrolectricity has been proposed as a plausible meachanism to explain the high photovoltaic conversion efficiency in organic-inorganic perovskites; however, convincing experimental evidence in support to this hypothesis is still missing. Identifying and

Nanoscale Imaging and Spectroscopy of Band Gap and defects in Polycrystalline Photovoltaic Devices

April 12, 2017
Author(s)
Yohan Yoon, Jungseok Chae, Aaron M. Katzenmeyer, Heayoung Yoon, Joshua D. Schumacher, Sang M. An, Andrea Centrone, Nikolai B. Zhitenev
Improving the power conversion efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) devices is challenging because the generation, separation and collection of electron-hole pairs in PV devices is strongly dependent on details of the nanoscale chemical composition and defects

Engineering Near-Field SEIRA Enhancements in Plasmonic Resonators

January 20, 2016
Author(s)
Jungseok Chae, Basudev Lahiri, Andrea Centrone
Engineering of the optical resonances in plasmonic resonators arrays is achieved by virtue of the intrinsic properties to the constituent structures such as composition, size and shape and by controlling the inter-resonator interactions by virtue the array

Photovoltaic switching mechanism in lateral structure hybrid Perovskite solar cells

August 5, 2015
Author(s)
Yongbo Yuan, Jungseok Chae, Yuchuan Shao, Qi Wang, Zhengguo Xiao, Andrea Centrone, Jinsong Huang
Organometal trihalide perovskite solar cells with lateral device architecture recently attracted interest because of their switchable photovoltaic effect, which potentially could be leveraged to realize transparent-electrode-free solar cells. However, the

Infrared Imaging and Spectroscopy Beyond the Diffraction Limit

July 22, 2015
Author(s)
Andrea Centrone
Progress in nanotechnology is enabled by and dependent on the availability of measurement methods with spatial resolution commensurate with nanomaterials’ length scales. Chemical imaging techniques, such as scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy

Photodetectors: High-Gain and Low-Driving-Voltage Photodetectors Based on Organolead Triiodide Perovskites (Adv. Mater. 11/2015)
