Highly Emissive Self-Trapped Excitons in Fully Inorganic Zero-Dimensional Tin Halides.

ABSTRACT: The spatial localization of charge carriers to promote the formation of bound excitons and concomitantly enhance radiative recombination has long been a goal for luminescent semiconductors. Zero-dimensional materials structurally impose carrier localization and result in the formation of localized Frenkel excitons. Now the fully inorganic, perovskite-derived zero-dimensional Sn^II material Cs₄ SnBr₆ is presented that exhibits room-temperature broad-band photoluminescence centered at 540?nm with a quantum yield (QY) of 15±5?%. A series of analogous compositions following the general formula Cs_4-x A_x Sn(Br_1-y I_y )₆ (A=Rb, K; x?1, y?1) can be prepared. The emission of these materials ranges from 500?nm to 620?nm with the possibility to compositionally tune the Stokes shift and the self-trapped exciton emission bands.

Highly energy-tunable quantum light from moire-trapped excitons.

Project description:Photon antibunching, a hallmark of quantum light, has been observed in the correlations of light from isolated atomic and atomic-like solid-state systems. Two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures offer a unique method to create a quantum light source: Moiré trapping potentials for excitons are predicted to create arrays of quantum emitters. While signatures of moiré-trapped excitons have been observed, their quantum nature has yet to be confirmed. Here, we report photon antibunching from single moiré-trapped interlayer excitons in a heterobilayer. Via magneto-optical spectroscopy, we demonstrate that the discrete anharmonic spectra arise from bound band-edge electron-hole pairs trapped in moiré potentials. Last, we exploit the large permanent dipole of interlayer excitons to achieve large direct current (DC) Stark tuning up to 40 meV. Our results confirm the quantum nature of moiré-confined excitons and open opportunities to investigate their inhomogeneity and interactions between the emitters or energetically tune single emitters into resonance with cavity modes.

Highly emissive excitons with reduced exchange energy in thermally activated delayed fluorescent molecules.

Project description:Unlike conventional thermally activated delayed fluorescence chromophores, boron-centered azatriangulene-like molecules combine a small excited-state singlet-triplet energy gap with high oscillator strengths and minor reorganization energies. Here, using highly correlated quantum-chemical calculations, we report this is driven by short-range reorganization of the electron density taking place upon electronic excitation of these multi-resonant structures. Based on this finding, we design a series of π-extended boron- and nitrogen-doped nanographenes as promising candidates for efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters with concomitantly decreased singlet-triplet energy gaps, improved oscillator strengths and core rigidity compared to previously reported structures, permitting both emission color purity and tunability across the visible spectrum.

Exciton-harvesting enabled efficient charged particle detection in zero-dimensional halides.

Project description:Materials for radiation detection are critically important and urgently demanded in diverse fields, starting from fundamental scientific research to medical diagnostics, homeland security, and environmental monitoring. Low-dimensional halides (LDHs) exhibiting efficient self-trapped exciton (STE) emission with high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) have recently shown a great potential as scintillators. However, an overlooked issue of exciton-exciton interaction in LDHs under ionizing radiation hinders the broadening of its radiation detection applications. Here, we demonstrate an exceptional enhancement of exciton-harvesting efficiency in zero-dimensional (0D) Cs3Cu2I5:Tl halide single crystals by forming strongly localized Tl-bound excitons. Because of the suppression of non-radiative exciton-exciton interaction, an excellent α/β pulse-shape-discrimination (PSD) figure-of-merit (FoM) factor of 2.64, a superior rejection ratio of 10-9, and a high scintillation yield of 26 000 photons MeV-1 under 5.49 MeV α-ray are achieved in Cs3Cu2I5:Tl single crystals, outperforming the commercial ZnS:Ag/PVT composites for charged particle detection applications. Furthermore, a radiation detector prototype based on Cs3Cu2I5:Tl single crystal demonstrates the capability of identifying radioactive 220Rn gas for environmental radiation monitoring applications. We believe that the exciton-harvesting strategy proposed here can greatly boost the applications of LDHs materials.

Predictions of moire excitons in twisted two-dimensional organic-inorganic halide perovskites.

Project description:Recent breakthrough in synthesizing arbitrary vertical heterostructures of Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskites opens doors to myriad quantum optoelectronic applications. However, it is not clear whether moiré excitons and flat bands can be formed in such heterostructures. Here, we predict from first principles that twisted homobilayers of RP perovskite, MA2PbI4, can host moiré excitons and yield flat energy bands. The moiré excitons exhibit unique and hybridized characteristics with electrons confined in a single layer of a striped distribution while holes localized in both layers. Nearly flat valence bands can be formed in the bilayers with relatively large twist angles, thanks to the presence of hydrogen bonds that strengthen the interlayer coupling. External pressures can further increase the interlayer coupling, yielding more localized moiré excitons and flatter valence bands. Finally, electrostatic gating is predicted to tune the degree of hybridization, energy, position and localization of moiré excitons in twisted MA2PbI4 bilayers.

Highly mobile charge-transfer excitons in two-dimensional WS2/tetracene heterostructures.

Project description:Charge-transfer (CT) excitons at heterointerfaces play a critical role in light to electricity conversion using organic and nanostructured materials. However, how CT excitons migrate at these interfaces is poorly understood. We investigate the formation and transport of CT excitons in two-dimensional WS2/tetracene van der Waals heterostructures. Electron and hole transfer occurs on the time scale of a few picoseconds, and emission of interlayer CT excitons with a binding energy of ~0.3 eV has been observed. Transport of the CT excitons is directly measured by transient absorption microscopy, revealing coexistence of delocalized and localized states. Trapping-detrapping dynamics between the delocalized and localized states leads to stretched-exponential photoluminescence decay with an average lifetime of ~2 ns. The delocalized CT excitons are remarkably mobile with a diffusion constant of ~1 cm2 s-1. These highly mobile CT excitons could have important implications in achieving efficient charge separation.

Supramolecular Approach for Fine-Tuning of the Bright Luminescence from Zero-Dimensional Antimony(III) Halides.

Project description:Halides of ns2 metal ions have recently regained broad research interest as bright narrowband and broadband emitters. Sb(III) is particularly appealing for its oxidative stability (compared to Ge2+ and Sn2+) and low toxicity (compared to Pb2+). Square pyramidal SbX5 anion had thus far been the most common structural motif for realizing high luminescence efficiency, typically when cocrystallized with an organic cation. Luminescent hybrid organic-inorganic halides with octahedral coordination of Sb(III) remain understudied, whereas fully inorganic compounds show very limited structural engineerability. We show that the host-guest complexation of alkali metal cations with crown ethers fosters the formation of zero-dimensional Sb(III) halides and allows for adjusting the coordination number (5 or 6). The obtained compounds exhibit bright photoluminescence with quantum yields of up to 89% originating from self-trapped excitons, with emission energies, Stokes shifts, and luminescence lifetimes finely-adjustable by structural engineering. A combination of environmental stability and strong, intrinsic temperature-dependence of the luminescence lifetimes in the nanosecond-to-microsecond range nominate these compounds as highly potent luminophores for remote thermometry and thermography owing to their sensitivity range of 200-450 K and high specific sensitivities of 0.04 °C-1.

Designing zero-dimensional dimer-type all-inorganic perovskites for ultra-fast switching memory.

Project description:Resistive switching memory that uses halide perovskites (HP) has been considered as next-generation storage devices due to low operation voltage and high on/off ratio. However, the memory still faces challenges for stable operation with fast switching speed, which hinders the practical application. Thus, it should be considered from the stage of designing the HP for memory applications. Here, we design the perovskite memory using a high-throughput screening based on first-principles calculations. Total 696 compositions in four different crystal structures are investigated and essential parameters including stability, vacancy formation, and migration are considered as the descriptor. We select dimer-Cs3Sb2I9 as an optimal HP for memory; the device that uses dimer-Cs3Sb2I9 has ultra-fast switching speed (~20 ns) compared to the device that uses layer-Cs3Sb2I9 (>100 ns). The use of lead-free perovskite avoids environmental problems caused by lead in perovskite. These results demonstrate the feasibility to design the memory with ultra-fast switching speed.

Free Carriers versus Self-Trapped Excitons at Different Facets of Ruddlesden-Popper Two-Dimensional Lead Halide Perovskite Single Crystals.

Project description:The physical origin of sub-band gap photoluminescence in Ruddlesden-Poppers two-dimensional (2D) lead halide perovskites (LHPs) is still under debate. In this paper, we studied the photoluminescence features from two different facets of 2D LHP single crystals: the in-plane facet (IF) containing the 2D inorganic layers and the facet perpendicular to the 2D layers (PF). At the IF, the free carriers (FCs) dominate due to the weak electron-phonon coupling in a symmetric lattice. At the PF, the strain accumulation along the 2D layers enhances the electron-phonon coupling and facilitates self-trapped exciton (STE) formation. The time-resolved PL studies indicate that free carriers (FCs) at the IF can move freely and display the trapping by the intrinsic defects. The STEs at the PF are not likely trapped by the defects due to the reduced mobility. However, with increasing STE density, the STE transport is promoted, enabling the trapping of STE by the intrinsic defects.

Achieving Highly Efficient Warm-White Light Emission in All-Inorganic Copper-Silver Halides via Structural Regulation.

Project description:Single-component metal halides with white light emission are highly attractive for solid-state lighting applications, but it is still challenging to develop all-inorganic lead-free metal halides with high white-light emission efficiency. Herein, by rationally introducing silver (Ag) into zero-dimensional (0D) Cs3 Cu2 Br5 as new structural building unit, a one-dimensional (1D) bimetallic halide Cs6 Cu3 AgBr10 is designed that emits strong warm-white light with an impressive photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 94.5% and excellent stability. This structural transformation lowers the conduction band minimum while maintaining the localized nature of the valence band maximum, which is crucial in expanding the excitation spectrum and obtaining efficient self-trapped excitons (STEs) emission simultaneously. Detailed spectroscopy studies reveal that the white-light originates from triplet STEs emission, which can be remarkably improved by weakening the strong electron-phonon coupling and thus suppressing phonon-induced non-radiative processes. Moreover, the interesting temperature-dependent emission behavior, together with self-absorption-free property, make Cs6 Cu3 AgBr10 as sensitive luminescent thermometer and high-performance X-ray scintillator, respectively. These findings demonstrate a general approach to achieving effective single-component white-light emitters based on lead-free, all-inorganic metal halides, thereby opening up a new avenue to explore their versatile applications such as lighting, temperature detection and X-ray imaging.
