The determined complex refractive indices are shown to depend on the fabrication procedure and environmental conditions during processing. This data is complemented by additional optical and structural characterization, as well as the demonstration of efficient perovskite solar cells. Finally, the data is used in optical simulations to provide guidelines for the optimization of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells.Complex Refractive Indices of Cesium–Formamidinium-Based Mixed-Halide Perovskites with Optical Band Gaps from 1.5 to 1.8 eVtext::journal::journal article::research article
