AbstractLight-induced halide segregation limits the bandgap tunability of mixed-halide perovskites for tandem photovoltaics. Here we report that light-induced halide segregation is strain-activated in MAPb(I1−xBrx)3 with Br concentration below approximately 50%, while it is intrinsic for Br concentration over approximately 50%. Free-standing single crystals of CH3NH3Pb(I0.65Br0.35)3 (35%Br) do not show halide segregation until uniaxial pressure is applied. Besides, 35%Br single crystals grown on lattice-mismatched substrates (e.g. single-crystal CaF2) show inhomogeneous segregation due to heterogenous strain distribution. Through scanning probe microscopy, the above findings are successfully translated to polycrystalline thin films. For 35%Br thin films, halide segregation selectively occurs at grain boundaries due to localized strain at the boundaries; yet for 65%Br films, halide segregation occurs in the whole layer. We close by demonstrating that only the strain-activated halide segregation (35%Br/45%Br thin films) could be suppressed if the strain is properly released via additives (e.g. KI) or ideal substrates (e.g. SiO2).

The study of amorphous and polycrystalline materials by obtaining radial density functions G(r) from X-ray or neutron diffraction patterns is a well-developed technique. We have developed a method for carrying out the same technique using electron diffraction in a standard TEM. It has the advantage that studies can be made of thin films, and on regions of specimen too small for X-ray and neutron studies. As well, it can be used to obtain nearest neighbour distances and coordination numbers from the same region of specimen from which HREM, EDS and EELS data is obtained.The reduction of the scattered intensity I(s) (s = 2sinθ/λ ) to the radial density function, G(r), assumes single and elastic scattering. For good resolution in r, data must be collected to high s. Previous work in this field includes pioneering experiments by Grigson and by Graczyk and Moss. In our work, the electron diffraction pattern from an amorphous or polycrystalline thin film is scanned across the entrance aperture to a PEELS fitted to a conventional TEM, using a ramp applied to the post specimen scan coils. The elastically scattered intensity I(s) is obtained by selecting the elastically scattered electrons with the PEELS, and collecting directly into the MCA. Figure 1 shows examples of I(s) collected from two thin ZrN films, one polycrystalline and one amorphous, prepared by evaporation while under nitrogen ion bombardment.

Co doping increases the ZnO resistivity (ρ) at high T (HT), whereas it has an opposite effect at low T (LT). H balances the Co effects by neutralizing the ρ increase at HT and strengthening its decrease at LT.
