Periodic Reporting for period 1 - FERROVOLT (For a better understanding and design of ferroelectric photovoltaics: First-principles study of opticalabsorption and charge-carrier transport at ferroelectric domain walls in BiFeO3)

"Ferrovolt is a basic-research project in the field of solar-cell materials. Its goal is to determine how a specific nanostructure (a ferroelectric domain wall) can be exploited to boost solar-cell performance.A ferroelectric is a material that exhibits a spontaneous electric...
