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.

Cesium Lead Bromide Perovskites: Synthesis, Stability, and Photoluminescence Quantum Yield Enhancement by Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Bromide Doping.

Project description:Perovskite nanoparticles having a crystalline structure have attracted scientists' attention due to their great potential in optoelectronic and scintillation applications. The photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) is one of the main critical photophysical properties of the perovskite nanoparticles. Unfortunately, the main limitation of cesium lead halide perovskites is their instability in an ambient atmosphere, where they undergo a rapid chemical decomposition within time. For this purpose, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was used as a surfactant dopant to test in the first place its effect on the stability of CsPbBr3 perovskites and on the PLQY values of the prepared perovskites. The addition of CTAB has proven its efficiency in the formed CsPbBr3 nanoparticles by increasing their thermal stability and by enhancing their PLQY up to 75%. These results were obtained after the successful preparation of CsPbBr3 perovskite nanoparticles by optimizing three different reaction parameters, starting from the time of the reaction, moving to the concentration of lead bromide, and ending with the concentration of cesium oleate. Therefore, it was found that the most stable CsPbBr3 perovskites were formed when mixing 0.15 g of lead bromide heated for 40 min with a volume of 1.2 mL of cesium oleate.

Lead-Free Cesium Titanium Bromide Double Perovskite Nanocrystals.

Project description:Double perovskites are a promising family of lead-free materials that not only replace lead but also enable new optoelectronic applications beyond photovoltaics. Recently, a titanium (Ti)-based vacancy-ordered double perovskite, Cs2TiBr6, has been reported as an example of truly sustainable and earth-abundant perovskite with controversial results in terms of photoluminescence and environmental stability. Our work looks at this material from a new perspective, i.e., at the nanoscale. We demonstrate the first colloidal synthesis of Cs2TiX6 nanocrystals (X = Br, Cl) and observe tunable morphology and size of the nanocrystals according to the set reaction temperature. The Cs2TiBr6 nanocrystals synthesized at 185 °C show a bandgap of 1.9 eV and are relatively stable up to 8 weeks in suspensions. However, they do not display notable photoluminescence. The centrosymmetric crystal structure of Cs2TiBr6 suggests that this material could enable third-harmonic generation (THG) responses. Indeed, we provide a clear evidence of THG signals detected by the THG microscopy technique. As only a few THG-active halide perovskite materials are known to date and they are all lead-based, our findings promote future research on Cs2TiBr6 as well as on other lead-free double perovskites, with stronger focus on currently unexplored nonlinear optical applications.

Emergence of multiple fluorophores in individual cesium lead bromide nanocrystals.

Project description:Cesium-based perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) possess alluring optical and electronic properties via compositional and structural versatility, tunable bandgap, high photoluminescence quantum yield and facile chemical synthesis. Despite the recent progress, origins of the photoluminescence emission in various types of PNCs remains unclear. Here, we study the photon emission from individual three-dimensional and zero-dimensional cesium lead bromide PNCs. Using photon antibunching and lifetime measurements, we demonstrate that emission statistics of both type of PNCs are akin to individual molecular fluorophores, rather than traditional semiconductor quantum dots. Aided by density functional modelling, we provide compelling evidence that green emission in zero-dimensional PNCs stems from exciton recombination at bromide vacancy centres within lead-halide octahedra, unrelated to external confinement. These findings provide key information about the nature of defect formation and the origin of emission in cesium lead halide perovskite materials, which foster their utilization in the emerging optoelectronic applications.

Clusters of Cesium-Lead-Iodide Perovskites in the Zeolite Matrix.

Project description:Small clusters of cesium-lead-iodide perovskites (CLIPs) have been prepared in the Na-X zeolite matrix and studied by means of spectroscopy and quantum chemical modeling. Regularity of pores in single crystals of zeolite assures the formation of clusters of a certain size. By the first-principles quantum chemical calculations, we have determined that clusters Cs4PbI6, Cs5Pb2I9, and probably Cs7Pb5I16 with a size of 0.74, 1.29, and 1.36 nm, respectively, have elevated stability compared to other species, and they fit into the pores of Na-X zeolite. Electronic energy spectra of these clusters have been calculated and compared with experimentally measured ones.

Mahan excitons in room-temperature methylammonium lead bromide perovskites.

Project description:In a seminal paper, Mahan predicted that excitonic bound states can still exist in a semiconductor at electron-hole densities above the insulator-to-metal Mott transition. However, no clear evidence for this exotic quasiparticle, dubbed Mahan exciton, exists to date at room temperature. In this work, we combine ultrafast broadband optical spectroscopy and advanced many-body calculations to reveal that organic-inorganic lead-bromide perovskites host Mahan excitons at room temperature. Persistence of the Wannier exciton peak and the enhancement of the above-bandgap absorption are observed at all achievable photoexcitation densities, well above the Mott density. This is supported by the solution of the semiconductor Bloch equations, which confirms that no sharp transition between the insulating and conductive phase occurs. Our results demonstrate the robustness of the bound states in a regime where exciton dissociation is otherwise expected, and offer promising perspectives in fundamental physics and in room-temperature applications involving high densities of charge carriers.

Nanocrystals of Cesium Lead Halide Perovskites (CsPbX₃, X = Cl, Br, and I): Novel Optoelectronic Materials Showing Bright Emission with Wide Color Gamut.

Project description:Metal halides perovskites, such as hybrid organic-inorganic CH3NH3PbI3, are newcomer optoelectronic materials that have attracted enormous attention as solution-deposited absorbing layers in solar cells with power conversion efficiencies reaching 20%. Herein we demonstrate a new avenue for halide perovskites by designing highly luminescent perovskite-based colloidal quantum dot materials. We have synthesized monodisperse colloidal nanocubes (4-15 nm edge lengths) of fully inorganic cesium lead halide perovskites (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, and I or mixed halide systems Cl/Br and Br/I) using inexpensive commercial precursors. Through compositional modulations and quantum size-effects, the bandgap energies and emission spectra are readily tunable over the entire visible spectral region of 410-700 nm. The photoluminescence of CsPbX3 nanocrystals is characterized by narrow emission line-widths of 12-42 nm, wide color gamut covering up to 140% of the NTSC color standard, high quantum yields of up to 90%, and radiative lifetimes in the range of 1-29 ns. The compelling combination of enhanced optical properties and chemical robustness makes CsPbX3 nanocrystals appealing for optoelectronic applications, particularly for blue and green spectral regions (410-530 nm), where typical metal chalcogenide-based quantum dots suffer from photodegradation.

Bright magnetic dipole radiation from two-dimensional lead-halide perovskites.

Project description:Light-matter interactions in semiconductors are uniformly treated within the electric dipole approximation; multipolar interactions are considered "forbidden." We experimentally demonstrate that this approximation inadequately describes light emission in two-dimensional (2D) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs), solution processable semiconductors with promising optoelectronic properties. By exploiting the highly oriented crystal structure, we use energy-momentum spectroscopies to demonstrate that an exciton-like sideband in 2D HOIPs exhibits a multipolar radiation pattern with highly directed emission. Electromagnetic and quantum-mechanical analyses indicate that this emission originates from an out-of-plane magnetic dipole transition arising from the 2D character of electronic states. Symmetry arguments and temperature-dependent measurements suggest a dynamic symmetry-breaking mechanism that is active over a broad temperature range. These results challenge the paradigm of electric dipole-dominated light-matter interactions in optoelectronic materials, provide new perspectives on the origins of unexpected sideband emission in HOIPs, and tease the possibility of metamaterial-like scattering phenomena at the quantum-mechanical level.

Investigation into the Photoluminescence Red Shift in Cesium Lead Bromide Nanocrystal Superlattices.

Project description:The formation of cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) nanocrystal superlattices (NC SLs) is accompanied by a red shift in the NC photoluminescence (PL). The values of the PL red shift reported in the literature range from none to ∼100 meV without unifying explanation of the differences. Using a combination of confocal PL microcopy and steady-state optical spectroscopies we found that an overall PL red shift of ∼96 meV measured from a macroscopic sample of CsPbBr3 NC SLs has several contributions: ∼ 10-15 meV from a red shift in isolated and clean SLs, ∼ 30 meV from SLs with impurities of bulklike CsPbBr3 crystals on their surface, and up to 50 meV or more of the red shift coming from a photon propagation effect, specifically self-absorption. In addition, a self-assembly technique for growing micron-sized NC SLs on the surface of perfluorodecalin, an inert perfluorinated liquid and an antisolvent for NCs, is described.

Large polarization-dependent exciton optical Stark effect in lead iodide perovskites.

Project description:A strong interaction of a semiconductor with a below-bandgap laser pulse causes a blue-shift of the bandgap transition energy, known as the optical Stark effect. The energy shift persists only during the pulse duration with an instantaneous response time. The optical Stark effect has practical relevance for applications, including quantum information processing and communication, and passively mode-locked femtosecond lasers. Here we demonstrate that solution-processable lead-halide perovskites exhibit a large optical Stark effect that is easily resolved at room temperature resulting from the sharp excitonic feature near the bandedge. We also demonstrate that a polarized pump pulse selectively shifts one spin state producing a spin splitting of the degenerate excitonic states. Such selective spin manipulation is an important prerequisite for spintronic applications. Our result implies that such hybrid semiconductors may have great potential for optoelectronic applications beyond photovoltaics.
