Abstract

The sequence and texture of methylammonium lead triiodide (MAPbI3) films, spin-coated by a one-step process, are analyzed using X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, profilometry, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy to understand the film’s fundamental properties. The structural and optical r...
