The photoluminescence (PL) of metal halide perovskites can recover after light or current-induced degradation. This self-healing ability is tested by acting mechanically on MAPbI polycrystalline microcrystals by an atomic force microscope tip (applying force, scratching, and cutting) while monitoring the PL. Although strain and crystal damage induce strong PL quenching, the initial balance between radiative and nonradiative processes in the microcrystals is restored within a few minutes.

The efficiency of a solar cell is often limited by electron-hole recombination mediated by defect states within the band gap of the photovoltaic (PV) semiconductor. The Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) model considers a static trap that can successively capture electrons and holes. In reality however, true trap levels vary with both the defect charge state and local structure.

Here, we report on the photochemical deposition of Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) and Alexa647 molecules from aqueous and methanolic solution along 180° ferroelectric (FE) domain walls (DWs) of z-cut lithium niobate (LNO) single crystals. Molecules and FE domains were investigated by means of dynamic-mode AFM, piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM), and confocal scanning fluorescence microscopy. A high deposition affinity for 180° DWs on the LNO surface is observed, leading to the formation of molecular nanowires.

The behaviour of point defects in thin, epitaxial films of the oxide electrode SrRuO3 was probed by means of diffusion measurements. Thin-film SrRuO3 was deposited by means of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on (100) oriented, undoped single crystal SrTiO3 substrates. (16)O/(18)O exchange anneals were employed to probe the behavior of oxygen vacancies.

To explore the interaction between topological defects and curvature in materials with orientational order, we perform Monte Carlo studies of the two-dimensional XY model on the surface of curved substrates. Each curved surface is patterned with a random lattice constructed via random sequential absorption, and an XY spin is positioned at each lattice site. Spins lie in the plane locally tangent to the surface and interact with neighbors defined via a distance cutoff.
