Temperature-Dependent Chirality in Halide Perovskites.

ABSTRACT: With the use of chiral organic cations in two-dimensional metal halide perovskites, chirality can be induced in the metal halide layers, which results in semiconductors with intriguing chiral optical and spin-selective transport properties. The chiral properties strongly depend upon the temperature, despite the basic crystal symmetry not changing fundamentally. We identify a set of descriptors that characterize the chirality of metal halide perovskites, such as MBA₂PbI₄, and study their temperature dependence using molecular dynamics simulations with on-the-fly machine-learning force fields obtained from density functional theory calculations. We find that, whereas the arrangement of organic cations remains chiral upon increasing the temperature, the inorganic framework loses this property more rapidly. We ascribe this to the breaking of hydrogen bonds that link the organic with the inorganic substructures, which leads to a loss of chirality transfer.

Temperature-Dependent Evolution of Raman Spectra of Methylammonium Lead Halide Perovskites, CH₃NH₃PbX₃ (X = I, Br).

Project description:We present a Raman study on the phase transitions of organic/inorganic hybrid perovskite materials, CH₃NH₃PbX₃ (X = I, Br), which are used as solar cells with high power conversion efficiency. The temperature dependence of the Raman bands of CH₃NH₃PbX₃ (X = I, Br) was measured in the temperature ranges of 290 to 100 K for CH₃NH₃PbBr₃ and 340 to 110 K for CH₃NH₃PbI₃. Broad ν₁ bands at ~326 cm-1 for MAPbBr₃ and at ~240 cm-1 for MAPbI₃ were assigned to the MA⁻PbX₃ cage vibrations. These bands exhibited anomalous temperature dependence, which was attributable to motional narrowing originating from fast changes between the orientational states of CH₃NH₃⁺ in the cage. Phase transitions were characterized by changes in the bandwidths and peak positions of the MA⁻cage vibration and some bands associated with the NH₃⁺ group.

Mid-infrared photodetection with 2D metal halide perovskites at ambient temperature.

Project description:The detection of mid-infrared (MIR) light is technologically important for applications such as night vision, imaging, sensing, and thermal metrology. Traditional MIR photodetectors either require cryogenic cooling or have sophisticated device structures involving complex nanofabrication. Here, we conceive spectrally tunable MIR detection by using two-dimensional metal halide perovskites (2D-MHPs) as the critical building block. Leveraging the ultralow cross-plane thermal conductivity and strong temperature-dependent excitonic resonances of 2D-MHPs, we demonstrate ambient-temperature, all-optical detection of MIR light with sensitivity down to 1 nanowatt per square micrometer, using plastic substrates. Through the adoption of membrane-based structures and a photonic enhancement strategy unique to our all-optical detection modality, we further improved the sensitivity to sub-10 picowatt-per-square-micrometer levels. The detection covers the mid-wave infrared regime from 2 to 4.5 micrometers and extends to the long-wave infrared wavelength at 10.6 micrometers, with wavelength-independent sensitivity response. Our work opens a pathway to alternative types of solution-processable, long-wavelength thermal detectors for molecular sensing, environmental monitoring, and thermal imaging.

Reliably obtaining white light from layered halide perovskites at room temperature.

Project description:The recent observation of broadband white-light emission from the inorganic sheets of certain layered lead-bromide perovskites has instigated a multitude of studies on this unusual phenomenon. However, the vast majority of layered bromide perovskites have flat (001) inorganic sheets and display a narrow photoluminescence at room temperature. A handful of heavily distorted (001) perovskites display broad emission, but to date, there is no method of predicting which perovskites will produce white light at room temperature prior to screening different organic molecules that can template 2D perovskites and crystallizing and analyzing the material. By studying ten Pb-Cl perovskites, we find that they all exhibit a broad yellow emission, which is strikingly invariant despite different distortions in the inorganic framework seen across the series. We postulate that this broad emission is intrinsic to all layered Pb-Cl perovskites. Although broad, the emission is not white. By adding Br to the Pb-Cl perovskites we obtain both the narrow emission and the broad emission such that the combined emission color smoothly varies from yellow to warm white to cold white as a function of the halide ratio. Thus, alloying Br to Pb-Cl perovskites appears to be a simple and general strategy for reliably obtaining white light at room temperature from (001) perovskites, regardless of the templating effects of the organic molecules, which should greatly expand the number of white-light-emitting layered perovskites.

Large polarons in lead halide perovskites.

Project description:Lead halide perovskites show marked defect tolerance responsible for their excellent optoelectronic properties. These properties might be explained by the formation of large polarons, but how they are formed and whether organic cations are essential remain open questions. We provide a direct time domain view of large polaron formation in single-crystal lead bromide perovskites CH3NH3PbBr3 and CsPbBr3. We found that large polaron forms predominantly from the deformation of the PbBr3- frameworks, irrespective of the cation type. The difference lies in the polaron formation time, which, in CH3NH3PbBr3 (0.3 ps), is less than half of that in CsPbBr3 (0.7 ps). First-principles calculations confirm large polaron formation, identify the Pb-Br-Pb deformation modes as responsible, and explain quantitatively the rate difference between CH3NH3PbBr3 and CsPbBr3. The findings reveal the general advantage of the soft [PbX3]- sublattice in charge carrier protection and suggest that there is likely no mechanistic limitations in using all-inorganic or mixed-cation lead halide perovskites to overcome instability problems and to tune the balance between charge carrier protection and mobility.

Which Ion Dominates the Temperature and Pressure Response of Halide Perovskites and Elpasolites?

Project description:Halide perovskites and elpasolites are key for optoelectronic applications due to their exceptional performance and adaptability. However, understanding their crucial elastic properties for synthesis and device operation remains limited. We performed temperature- and pressure-dependent synchrotron-based powder X-ray diffraction at low pressures (ambient to 0.06 GPa) to investigate their elastic properties in their ambient-pressure crystal structure. We found common trends in bulk modulus and thermal expansivity, with an increased halide ionic radius (Cl to Br to I) resulting in greater softness, higher compressibility, and thermal expansivity in both materials. The A cation has a minor effect, and mixed-halide compositions show intermediate properties. Notably, thermal phase transitions in MAPbI3 and CsPbCl3 induced lattice softening and negative expansivity for specific crystal axes, even at temperatures far from the transition point. These results emphasize the significance of considering temperature-dependent elastic properties, which can significantly impact device stability and performance during manufacturing or temperature sweeps.

Room temperature long-range coherent exciton polariton condensate flow in lead halide perovskites.

Project description:Novel technological applications significantly favor alternatives to electrons toward constructing low power-consuming, high-speed all-optical integrated optoelectronic devices. Polariton condensates, exhibiting high-speed coherent propagation and spin-based behavior, attract considerable interest for implementing the basic elements of integrated optoelectronic devices: switching, transport, and logic. However, the implementation of this coherent polariton condensate flow is typically limited to cryogenic temperatures, constrained by small exciton binding energy in most semiconductor microcavities. Here, we demonstrate the capability of long-range nonresonantly excited polariton condensate flow at room temperature in a one-dimensional all-inorganic cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) perovskite microwire microcavity. The polariton condensate exhibits high-speed propagation over macroscopic distances of 60 μm while still preserving the long-range off-diagonal order. Our findings pave the way for using coherent polariton condensate flow for all-optical integrated logic circuits and polaritonic devices operating at room temperature.

Defect-induced local variation of crystal phase transition temperature in metal-halide perovskites.

Project description:Solution-processed organometal halide perovskites are hybrid crystalline semiconductors highly interesting for low-cost and efficient optoelectronics. Their properties are dependent on the crystal structure. Literature shows a variety of crystal phase transition temperatures and often a spread of the transition over tens of degrees Kelvin. We explain this inconsistency by demonstrating that the temperature of the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic phase transition in methylammonium lead triiodide depends on the concentration and nature of local defects. Phase transition in individual nanowires was studied by photoluminescence microspectroscopy and super-resolution imaging. We propose that upon cooling from 160 to 140 K, domains of the crystal containing fewer defects stay in the tetragonal phase longer than highly defected domains that readily transform to the high bandgap orthorhombic phase at higher temperatures. The existence of relatively pure tetragonal domains during the phase transition leads to drastic photoluminescence enhancement, which is inhomogeneously distributed across perovskite microcrystals.Understanding crystal phase transition in materials is of fundamental importance. Using luminescence spectroscopy and super-resolution imaging, Dobrovolsky et al. study the transition from the tetragonal to orthorhombic crystal phase in methylammonium lead triiodide nanowires at low temperature.

Charge carrier mobility in hybrid halide perovskites.

Project description:The charge transport properties of hybrid halide perovskites are investigated with a combination of density functional theory including van der Waals interaction and the Boltzmann theory for diffusive transport in the relaxation time approximation. We find the mobility of electrons to be in the range 5-10 cm(2)V(-1)s(-1) and that for holes within 1-5 cm(2)V(-1)s(-1), where the variations depend on the crystal structure investigated and the level of doping. Such results, in good agreement with recent experiments, set the relaxation time to about 1 ps, which is the time-scale for the molecular rotation at room temperature. For the room temperature tetragonal phase we explore two possible orientations of the organic cations and find that the mobility has a significant asymmetry depending on the direction of the current with respect to the molecular axis. This is due mostly to the way the PbI3 octahedral symmetry is broken. Interestingly we find that substituting I with Cl has minor effects on the mobilities. Our analysis suggests that the carrier mobility is probably not a key factor in determining the high solar-harvesting efficiency of this class of materials.

Tunable room-temperature spin-selective optical Stark effect in solution-processed layered halide perovskites.

Project description:Ultrafast spin manipulation for opto-spin logic applications requires material systems that have strong spin-selective light-matter interaction. Conventional inorganic semiconductor nanostructures [for example, epitaxial II to VI quantum dots and III to V multiple quantum wells (MQWs)] are considered forerunners but encounter challenges such as lattice matching and cryogenic cooling requirements. Two-dimensional halide perovskite semiconductors, combining intrinsic tunable MQW structures and large oscillator strengths with facile solution processability, can offer breakthroughs in this area. We demonstrate novel room-temperature, strong ultrafast spin-selective optical Stark effect in solution-processed (C6H4FC2H4NH3)2PbI4 perovskite thin films. Exciton spin states are selectively tuned by ~6.3 meV using circularly polarized optical pulses without any external photonic cavity (that is, corresponding to a Rabi energy of ~55 meV and equivalent to applying a 70 T magnetic field), which is much larger than any conventional system. The facile halide and organic replacement in these perovskites affords control of the dielectric confinement and thus presents a straightforward strategy for tuning light-matter coupling strength.

Br-Induced Suppression of Low-Temperature Phase Transitions in Mixed-Cation Mixed-Halide Perovskites.

Project description:Mixed-cation mixed-halide lead perovskites have been shown to be excellent candidates for solar energy conversion. However, understanding the structural phases of these mixed-ion perovskites across a wide range of operating temperatures, including very low temperatures for space applications, is crucial. In this study, we investigated the structure of formamidinium-based Cs y FA1-y Pb(Br x I1-x )3 using low-temperature in situ synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction. Our findings revealed that substituting the I anion with Br in mixed-cation (Cs,FA) perovskites suppressed the phase transformation from tetragonal to orthorhombic at low temperatures. The addition of Br also prevented the formation of nonperovskite secondary phases. We gained fundamental insights into the structural behavior of these materials by creating a low-temperature phase diagram for the compositional set of mixed-cation mixed-halides. This understanding of the structural properties lays the groundwork for designing more robust and efficient energy materials capable of functioning under extreme temperature conditions, including space-based solar energy conversion.
