Seminar: Halogenated Perovskites and Quantum Halides

Exploring Materials with Extraordinary Properties

The Department of Materials Physics and Mechanics invites everyone to an unmissable seminar delivered by Prof. Jorge Mario Osorio Guillén from Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia. This event, hosted at the invitation of Prof. Gustavo Dalpian, promises to open new perspectives on revolutionary materials.

Event Details:

  • Date: April 14th, Monday
  • Time: 4 PM
  • Location: José Roberto Leite Seminar Room, Alessandro Volta Building, room 110

Seminar Summary:

Perovskites, with their versatile crystalline structure, have been a transformative force in various fields, especially in solar energy, thanks to halogenated perovskites. However, the scope of these materials extends even further, introducing an incredible realm of quantum materials, where traditional physics rules are challenged and redefined.

During this presentation, we will explore how 'doping', a process widely used to alter semiconductor properties, can reveal surprising results when applied to these quantum materials. The revelation of the 'anti-doping' phenomenon in a metal halide, specifically K3Fe5F15, will be discussed. In this case, instead of increasing conductivity, doping reduces it, transforming the material from metal to insulator.

Furthermore, the unique properties of halogenated perovskites are an innovative leap, opening new horizons in the development of advanced technologies in areas such as spintronics, quantum computing, and high-performance electronics.

Don't miss the opportunity to update yourself with the latest discoveries and innovations that promise to shape the future of quantum materials.
