Non Linear optical studies of diamine based hybrid perovskites

Developing energy efficient materials for new age technology is an area of extreme interest in academics as well industries. Hybrid perovskites are have proved to be rapidly growing to be promising materials in the field of solar cells with efficiencies reaching 23%. The versatile nature, simple synthesis route, tunability, dimensionality effects and other interesting features entice these materials in synthetic manipulation of robust materials. Applications in variety of fields such as solar energy harvesting, energy storage devices such as batteries, optoelectronic devices such as solid state lighting (LEDs), field effect transistors (FETs) and many others have been explored in bulk as well as nanoparticles. Non-linear optical (NLO) properties are important in terms of optical devices such as LASERS and optical information processing and storage. The use of hybrid perovskites in NLO based optical memory storage are yet to explored in depth. This project is based on exploring the NLO properties of diamine based non-centrosymmetric hybrid perovskite single crystals. Diamine based cations would be used to control the non-linearity in hybrid perovskite single crystals which has not been in literature thus far. TO BE CONT’D
