Vortex Structures Uncovered in Solar Cell and Lighting Materials
Metal-halide perovskites have rapidly advanced in the past decade, demonstrating superior performance to silicon in converting light to electric current. Simulations on TACC's Frontera and Lonestar6 supercomputers have uncovered unexpected vortex structures in quasiparticles called polarons, which play a role in electricity generation from sunlight. This discovery is poised to help s
