In contrast to the Mott transition found in RNiO3 (R= rare earths), the metal-insulator transition temperature in the perovskite NaOsO3 is not sensitive to pressure. The peculiarity may be correlated to how the crystal structure of NaOsO3 responds to high pressure, which has been rarely studied so far. The pressure-induced bond-length shrinking can increase the orbital overlap integral and therefore the electron bandwidth. However, in the orthorhombic perovskite structure, the pressure-induced bending in the bond angle Os-O-Os may compensate for the bandwidth broadening due to the bond-length shrinking in some circumstances. A recent structural study on polycrystalline NaOsO3 indicated that orthorhombic distortion is enlarged under high pressure. But, how the local structure changes under pressure remains unknown. Moreover, a highly unusual phase transition from the orthorhombic phase (Pbnm) to a polar phase (Pbn21) occurs at around 18 GPa [Sereika et al., npj Quantum Mater. 5, 66 (2020)]. Motivated by these concerns, we have done a more comprehensive structural study on NaOsO3 using single-crystal diffraction with synchrotron radiation at high pressures up to 41 GPa. Diffraction patterns over the entire pressure range can be refined well with the Pbnm structural model. Moreover, the refinement results reveal in detail how the local structures change under pressure corresponding to the enhanced orthorhombic distortion from the lattice parameters. We have carried out a systematic study for understanding the pressure effect on the orthorhombic perovskites in the context of the influences of the charge distributions in the ABO3 formula, i.e., A3+B3+O3, A2+B4+O3, and A1+B5+O3 and the B-site cations from the 3d to the 4d and 5d row of elements. To fulfill this purpose, we have revisited two families of 3d perovskites: RCrO3 and RFeO3.
In this study, we presented the defect identification analysis based on the level-set type topology optimization using hammering testing data. To simulate the oscillation behavior of concrete structure, the equation o...

Four organic smallmolecule hole transport materials(D41, D42,D43 and D44) of tetraarylpyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrroles were prepared. They can be used without doping in the manufacture of the inverted planar perovskite solar cells. Tetraarylpyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrroles are accessible for one-pot synthesis.D42, D43 and D44 possess acceptor-π-donor-π-acceptor structure, on which the aryl bearing substitutes of cyan, fluorine and trifluoromethyl, respectively. Instead, the aryl moiety of D41 is in presence of methyl with a donor-π-donor-π-donor structure. The different substitutes significantly affected their molecular surface charge distribution and thin-film morphology, attributing to the electron-rich properties of fused pyrrole ring. The size of perovskite crystalline growth particles is affected by different molecular structures,and the electron-withdrawing cyan group of D42 is most conducive to the formation of large perovskite grains. The D42 fabricated devices with power conversion efficiency of17.3% and retained 55% of the initial photoelectric conversion efficiency after 22 days in dark condition. The pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole is efficient electron-donating moiety for hole transporting materials to form good substrate in producing perovskite thin film.
