Dielectric Confinement and Exciton Fine Structure in Lead Halide Perovskite Nanoplatelets.

ABSTRACT: Owing to their flexible chemical synthesis and the ability to shape nanostructures, lead halide perovskites have emerged as high potential materials for optoelectronic devices. Here, we investigate the excitonic band edge states and their energies levels in colloidal inorganic lead halide nanoplatelets, particularly the influence of dielectric effects, in a thin quasi-2D system. We use a model including band offset and dielectric confinements in the presence of Coulomb interaction. Short- and long-range contributions, modified by dielectric effects, are also derived, leading to a full modelization of the exciton fine structure, in cubic, tetragonal and orthorhombic phases. The fine splitting structure, including dark and bright excitonic states, is discussed and compared to recent experimental results, showing the importance of both confinement and dielectric contributions.

Single Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals at Low Temperature: Fast Single-Photon Emission, Reduced Blinking, and Exciton Fine Structure.

Project description:Metal-halide semiconductors with perovskite crystal structure are attractive due to their facile solution processability, and have recently been harnessed very successfully for high-efficiency photovoltaics and bright light sources. Here, we show that at low temperature single colloidal cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, where X = Cl/Br) nanocrystals exhibit stable, narrow-band emission with suppressed blinking and small spectral diffusion. Photon antibunching demonstrates unambiguously nonclassical single-photon emission with radiative decay on the order of 250 ps, representing a significant acceleration compared to other common quantum emitters. High-resolution spectroscopy provides insight into the complex nature of the emission process such as the fine structure and charged exciton dynamics.

Unusual Temperature Dependence of Bandgap in 2D Inorganic Lead-Halide Perovskite Nanoplatelets.

Project description:Understanding the origin of temperature-dependent bandgap in inorganic lead-halide perovskites is essential and important for their applications in photovoltaics and optoelectronics. Herein, it is found that the temperature dependence of bandgap in CsPbBr3 perovskites is variable with material dimensionality. In contrast to the monotonous redshift ordinarily observed in bulk-like CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs), the bandgap of 2D CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets (NPLs) exhibits an initial blueshift then redshift trend with decreasing temperature (290-10 K). The Bose-Einstein two-oscillator modeling manifests that the blueshift-redshift crossover of bandgap in the NPLs is attributed to the significantly larger weight of contribution from electron-optical phonon interaction to the bandgap renormalization in the NPLs than in the NCs. These new findings may gain deep insights into the origin of bandgap shift with temperature for both fundamentals and applications of perovskite semiconductor materials.

Solution Synthesis Approach to Colloidal Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Nanoplatelets with Monolayer-Level Thickness Control.

Project description:We report a colloidal synthesis approach to CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets (NPLs). The nucleation and growth of the platelets, which takes place at room temperature, is triggered by the injection of acetone in a mixture of precursors that would remain unreactive otherwise. The low growth temperature enables the control of the plate thickness, which can be precisely tuned from 3 to 5 monolayers. The strong two-dimensional confinement of the carriers at such small vertical sizes is responsible for a narrow PL, strong excitonic absorption, and a blue shift of the optical band gap by more than 0.47 eV compared to that of bulk CsPbBr3. We also show that the composition of the NPLs can be varied all the way to CsPbBr3 or CsPbI3 by anion exchange, with preservation of the size and shape of the starting particles. The blue fluorescent CsPbCl3 NPLs represent a new member of the scarcely populated group of blue-emitting colloidal nanocrystals. The exciton dynamics were found to be independent of the extent of 2D confinement in these platelets, and this was supported by band structure calculations.

Lead halide perovskite vortex microlasers.

Project description:Lead halide perovskite microlasers have been very promising for versatile optoelectronic applications. However, most perovskite microlasers are linearly polarized with uniform wavefront. The structured laser beams carrying orbital angular momentum have rarely been studied and the applications of perovskites in next-generation optical communications are thus hindered. Herein, we experimentally demonstrate the perovskite vortex microlasers with highly directional outputs and well-controlled topological charges. High quality gratings have been experimentally fabricated in perovskite film and the subsequent vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) with divergent angles of 3o are achieved. With the control of Archimedean spiral gratings, the wavefront of the perovskite VCSELs has been switched to be helical with topological charges of q = -4 to 4. This research is able to expand the potential applications of perovskite microlasers in hybrid integrated photonic networks, as well as optical computing.

Nonradiative Energy Transfer between Thickness-Controlled Halide Perovskite Nanoplatelets.

Project description:Despite showing great promise for optoelectronics, the commercialization of halide perovskite nanostructure-based devices is hampered by inefficient electrical excitation and strong exciton binding energies. While transport of excitons in an energy-tailored system via Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) could be an efficient alternative, halide ion migration makes the realization of cascaded structures difficult. Here, we show how these could be obtained by exploiting the pronounced quantum confinement effect in two-dimensional CsPbBr3-based nanoplatelets (NPls). In thin films of NPls of two predetermined thicknesses, we observe an enhanced acceptor photoluminescence (PL) emission and a decreased donor PL lifetime. This indicates a FRET-mediated process, benefitted by the structural parameters of the NPls. We determine corresponding transfer rates up to k FRET = 0.99 ns-1 and efficiencies of nearly ?FRET = 70%. We also show FRET to occur between perovskite NPls of other thicknesses. Consequently, this strategy could lead to tailored energy cascade nanostructures for improved optoelectronic devices.

Spontaneous Self-Assembly of Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Nanoplatelets into Cuboid Crystals with High Intensity Blue Emission.

Project description:Colloidal all-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals have gained significant attention as a promising material for both fundamental and applied research due to their excellent emission properties. However, reported photoluminescence quantum yields (PL QYs) of blue-emitting perovskite nanocrystals are rather low, mostly due to the fact that the high energy excitons for such wide bandgap materials are easily captured by interband traps, and then decay nonradiatively. In this work, it is demonstrated how to tackle this issue, performing self-assembly of 2D perovskite nanoplatelets into larger size (≈50 nm × 50 nm × 20 nm) cuboid crystals. In these structures, 2D nanoplatelets being isolated from each other within the cuboidal scaffold by organic ligands constitute multiple quantum wells, where exciton localization on potential disorder sites helps them to bypass nonradiative channels present in other platelets. As a result, the cuboid crystals show an extremely high PL QY of 91% of the emission band centered at 480 nm. Moreover, using the same synthetic method, mixed-anion CsPb(Br/Cl)3 cuboid crystals with blue emission peaks ranging from 452 to 470 nm, and still high PL QYs in the range of 72-83% are produced.

Structure and Surface Passivation of Ultrathin Cesium Lead Halide Nanoplatelets Revealed by Multilayer Diffraction.

Project description:The research on two-dimensional colloidal semiconductors has received a boost from the emergence of ultrathin lead halide perovskite nanoplatelets. While the optical properties of these materials have been widely investigated, their accurate structural and compositional characterization is still challenging. Here, we exploited the natural tendency of the platelets to stack into highly ordered films, which can be treated as single crystals made of alternating layers of organic ligands and inorganic nanoplatelets, to investigate their structure by multilayer diffraction. Using X-ray diffraction alone, this method allowed us to reveal the structure of ∼12 Å thick Cs-Pb-Br perovskite and ∼25 Å thick Cs-Pb-I-Cl Ruddlesden-Popper nanoplatelets by precisely measuring their thickness, stoichiometry, surface passivation type and coverage, as well as deviations from the crystal structures of the corresponding bulk materials. It is noteworthy that a single, readily available experimental technique, coupled with proper modeling, provides access to such detailed structural and compositional information.

Formamidinium Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocomposite Scintillators.

Project description:While there is great demand for effective, affordable radiation detectors in various applications, many commonly used scintillators have major drawbacks. Conventional inorganic scintillators have a fixed emission wavelength and require expensive, high-temperature synthesis; plastic scintillators, while fast, inexpensive, and robust, have low atomic numbers, limiting their X-ray stopping power. Formamidinium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals show promise as scintillators due to their high X-ray attenuation coefficient and bright luminescence. Here, we used a room-temperature, solution-growth method to produce mixed-halide FAPbX3 (X = Cl, Br) nanocrystals with emission wavelengths that can be varied between 403 and 531 nm via adjustments to the halide ratio. The substitution of bromine for increasing amounts of chlorine resulted in violet emission with faster lifetimes, while larger proportions of bromine resulted in green emission with increased luminescence intensity. By loading FAPbBr3 nanocrystals into a PVT-based plastic scintillator matrix, we produced 1 mm-thick nanocomposite scintillators, which have brighter luminescence than the PVT-based plastic scintillator alone. While nanocomposites such as these are often opaque due to optical scattering from aggregates of the nanoparticles, we used a surface modification technique to improve transmission through the composites. A composite of FAPbBr3 nanocrystals encapsulated in inert PMMA produced even stronger luminescence, with intensity 3.8× greater than a comparative FAPbBr3/plastic scintillator composite. However, the luminescence decay time of the FAPbBr3/PMMA composite was more than 3× slower than that of the FAPbBr3/plastic scintillator composite. We also demonstrate the potential of these lead halide perovskite nanocomposite scintillators for low-cost X-ray imaging applications.

Tuning Exciton-Mn2+ Energy Transfer in Mixed Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals.

Project description:Doping nanocrystals (NCs) with luminescent activators provides additional color tunability for these highly efficient luminescent materials. In CsPbCl3 perovskite NCs the exciton-to-activator energy transfer (ET) has been observed to be less efficient than in II-VI semiconductor NCs. Here we investigate the evolution of the exciton-to-Mn2+ ET efficiency as a function of composition (Br/Cl ratio) and temperature in CsPbCl3-x Br x :Mn2+ NCs. The results show a strong dependence of the transfer efficiency on Br- content. An initial fast increase in the relative Mn2+ emission intensity with increasing Br- content is followed by a decrease for higher Br- contents. The results are explained by a reduced exciton decay rate and faster exciton-to-Mn2+ ET upon Br- substitution. Further addition of Br- and narrowing of the host bandgap make back-transfer from Mn2+ to the CsPbCl3-x Br x host possible and lead to a reduction in Mn2+ emission. Temperature-dependent measurements provide support for the role of back-transfer as the highest Mn2+-to-exciton emission intensity ratio is reached at higher Br- content at 4.2 K where thermally activated back-transfer is suppressed. With the present results it is possible to pinpoint the position of the Mn2+ excited state relative to the CsPbCl3-x Br x host band states and predict the temperature- and composition-dependent optical properties of Mn2+-doped halide perovskite NCs.

A lead-halide perovskite molecular ferroelectric semiconductor.

Project description:Inorganic semiconductor ferroelectrics such as BiFeO3 have shown great potential in photovoltaic and other applications. Currently, semiconducting properties and the corresponding application in optoelectronic devices of hybrid organo-plumbate or stannate are a hot topic of academic research; more and more of such hybrids have been synthesized. Structurally, these hybrids are suitable for exploration of ferroelectricity. Therefore, the design of molecular ferroelectric semiconductors based on these hybrids provides a possibility to obtain new or high-performance semiconductor ferroelectrics. Here we investigated Pb-layered perovskites, and found the layer perovskite (benzylammonium)2PbCl4 is ferroelectric with semiconducting behaviours. It has a larger ferroelectric spontaneous polarization Ps=13??C?cm(-2) and a higher Curie temperature Tc=438?K with a band gap of 3.65?eV. This finding throws light on the new properties of the hybrid organo-plumbate or stannate compounds and provides a new way to develop new semiconductor ferroelectrics.
