Perovskite range enables opto applications

Goodfellow of Huntingdon, has a range of Perovskites – a group of materials with potential for optoelectronic applications. Perovskites have a unique and versatile crystal structure that consists of a variation in the chemical formula ABX3. Many Perovskites occur as oxides (ABO3), where A and B are typically metal cations. Due to their lattice, these ...
