VGP23A:
Perovskites Into the Next Millennium

Submit an Abstract to this Session

Session ID#: 6158

Session Description:
New developments involving the perovskite structure and its many minerals and related phases continue to proliferate, among them the formal naming of the Earth’s most abundant phase (“bridgmanite”) found in the Tenham meteorite and the sky rocketing efficiency of perovskite solar cells. Structural modifications, crystal chemistry, phase relations, magnetism, physical and thermodynamic properties of perovskite and related structures continue to play an important role in processes occurring on the Earth and other planets. We invite contributions on all of these topics from field studies, experimental investigations and the computational community.
