Anomalous 3D nanoscale photoconduction in hybrid perovskite semiconductors revealed by tomographic atomic force microscopy

The role of grain boundaries (GBs) in halide perovskite is an interesting topic but existing investigations are limited to the top surface. Here Song et al. employ tomographic AFM to study the buried features of grains and GBs, revealing coexistence of interconnected conducting and inert GBs.
