    Abstract: Organometallic halide perovskites are emerging as a promising class of materials for optoelectronic and electrical applications. The degree of molecular ordering that depends on nucleation and growth processes can tune their morphological structure which in turn affects the resultant optical, electronic and electrical properties. Studies have been ... Show More
