One of our overarching aims is to design entirely new materials atom-by-atom. Some recent successes include the ex-novo design of four new double perovskites, namely Cs2BiAgCl6, Cs2BiAgBr6, Cs2InAgCl6, and Ba2AgIO6. Among these new compounds, Cs2InAgCl6 is currently being investigated for applications in white-light emitters. Below are some of our key publications in this area
