Phase Stability and Electronic Structure of Prospective Sb-Based Mixed Sulfide and Iodide 3D Perovskite (CH 3 NH 3 )SbSI 2

Lead-free antimony-based mixed sulfide and iodide perovskite phases have recently been reported to be synthesized experimentally and to exhibit reasonable photovoltaic performance. In this work, through a combination of experimental validation and computational analysis, we show no evidence of the formation of the mixed sulfide and iodide perovskite phase, MASbSI 2 (MA = CH 3 NH 3 + ), and instead that the main products are a mixture of the binary and ternary compounds (Sb 2 S 3 and MA 3 Sb 2 I 9 ). Density functional theory calculations also indicate that such a mixed sulfide and iodide perovskite phase should be thermodynamically less stable compared with binary/ternary anion-segregated secondary phases and less likely to be synthesized under equilibrium conditions. Additionally, band structure calculations show that this mixed sulfide and iodide phase, if possible to synthesize (e.g., under nonequilibrium conditions), should have a suitable direct band gap for photovoltaic application.

A transmission line phase stabilizer

To meet the phase stability requirements of certain experiments performed with the Deep Space Network, transmission lines carrying reference signals must be stabilized to reduce changes in their electrical length due to mechanical movement or changes in ambient temperature. A transmission line phase stabilizer being developed at JPL to perform this function is described.

Computer determines high-frequency phase stability

Determination of phase stability of a high frequency signal using a computer is accomplished by a circuit using two auxiliary oscillators, multipliers and low-pass filters in cross correlation with the oscillator producing the signal of interest.

Phase Stability Through Machine Learning

Understanding the phase stability of a chemical system constitutes the foundation of materials science. Knowledge of the equilibrium state of a system under arbitrary thermodynamic conditions provides valuable information about the types of phases that are likely to be synthesized and how to get there. Accessing the phase diagram in a materials system provides one with the information necessary to design materials and microstructures with optimal properties. While the materials science community has long been focused on exploiting this knowledge to navigate the materials space, recent advances in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have provided the community with novel ways of interrogating the materials thermodynamics space. Furthermore, this work presents some of the most recent advances in ML/AI applied to phase stability and thermodynamics of materials. Prof. John Morral always had a passion for understanding and teaching the fundamental characteristics of phase diagrams. This review is written to honor his memory.
