Resonantly Pumped Bright-Triplet Exciton Lasing in Cesium Lead Bromide Perovskites.

ABSTRACT: The surprising recent observation of highly emissive triplet-states in lead halide perovskites accounts for their orders-of-magnitude brighter optical signals and high quantum efficiencies compared to other semiconductors. This makes them attractive for future optoelectronic applications, especially in bright low-threshold nanolasers. While nonresonantly pumped lasing from all-inorganic lead-halide perovskites is now well-established as an attractive pathway to scalable low-power laser sources for nano-optoelectronics, here we showcase a resonant optical pumping scheme on a fast triplet-state in CsPbBr₃ nanocrystals. The scheme allows us to realize a polarized triplet-laser source that dramatically enhances the coherent signal by 1 order of magnitude while suppressing noncoherent contributions. The result is a source with highly attractive technological characteristics, including a bright and polarized signal and a high stimulated-to-spontaneous emission signal contrast that can be filtered to enhance spectral purity. The emission is generated by pumping selectively on a weakly confined excitonic state with a Bohr radius ∼10 nm in the nanocrystals. The exciton fine-structure is revealed by the energy-splitting resulting from confinement in nanocrystals with tetragonal symmetry. We use a linear polarizer to resolve 2-fold nondegenerate sublevels in the triplet exciton and use photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy to determine the energy of the state before pumping it resonantly.

Project description:Metal halide perovskite nanocrystals, an emerging class of materials for advanced photonic and optoelectronic applications, are mainly fabricated with colloidal chemistry routes. On the quest for new properties according to application needs, new perovskite systems of various morphologies and levels of doping and alloying have been developed, often also involving post-synthesis reactions. Recently, laser irradiation in liquids has been utilized as a fast method to synthesize or transform materials and interesting laser-induced transformations on nanocrystals were induced. These studies in general have been limited to small nanocrystals (~15 nm). In the case of halide perovskites, fragmentation or anion exchange have been observed in such laser-based processes, but no crystal structure transformations were actually observed or deliberately studied. Nanocrystals are more sensitive to light exposure compared to the corresponding bulk crystals. Additional factors, such as size, morphology, the presence of impurities, and others, can intricately affect the photon absorption and heat dissipation in nanocrystal suspensions during laser irradiation. All these factors can play an important role in the final morphologies and in the time required for these transformations to unfold. In the present work, we have employed a 513 nm femtosecond (fs) laser to induce different transformations in large nanocrystals, in which two phases coexist in the same particle (Cs4PbBr6/CsPbBr3 nanohexagons of ~100 nm), dispersed in dichlorobenzene. These transformations include: (i) the exfoliation of the primary nanohexagons and partial anion exchange; (ii) fragmentation in smaller nanocubes and partial anion exchange; (iii) side-by-side-oriented attachment, fusion, and formation of nanoplatelets and complete anion exchange; (iv) side-by-side attachment, fusion, and formation of nanosheets. Partial or complete Br-Cl anion exchange in the above transformations was triggered by the partial degradation of dichlorobenzene. In addition to the detailed analysis of the various nanocrystal morphologies observed in the various transformations, the structure-photoluminescence relationships for the different samples were analyzed and discussed.
