The present disclosure relates to coated particles. The teachings thereof may be embodied in coated particles, a method for their production, and the use of the coated particles in X-ray detectors, gamma detectors, UV detectors, or solar cells. For example, some embodiments include particles comprising: perovskite crystals of the type ABX3 or AB2X4; wherein A comprises at least one monovalent, divalent, or trivalent element from the fourth or a higher period in the periodic table or mixtures thereof; B comprises a monovalent cation, the volumetric parameter of which is sufficient, with the respective element A, for perovskite lattice formation; and X is selected from the group consisting of halides and pseudohalides, and mixtures thereof; and a coating of at least one semiconductor material surrounding a nucleus comprising the perovskite crystals.
