Show Abstract
With only a few deep-level defect states having a high formation energy and dominance of shallow carrier non-trapping defects, the defect-tolerant electronic and optical properties of lead halide perovskites have made them appealing materials for high-efficiency, low-cost, solar cells and light-emitting devices. As such, recent observations of apparently deep-level and highly luminescent states in low-dimensional perovskites have attracted enormous attention as well as intensive debates. The observed green emission in 2D CsPb2Br5 and 0D Cs4PbBr6 poses an enigma over whether it is originated from intrinsic point defects or simply from highly luminescent CsPbBr3 nanocrystals embedded in the otherwise transparent wide bandgap semiconductors. The nature of deep-level edge emission in 2D Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites is also not well understood. In this talk, I will analyze the experimental evidences that support the opposing interpretations and discuss challenges and root causes for the controversy. I will then present experimental approaches that can better correlate property with structure of a material and help resolve the controversies. Using combined Raman-photoluminescence under hydrostatic pressure in a diamond anvil cell, we prove that CsPbBr3 nanocrystals are responsible for the bright green emissions in both 2D CsPb2Br5 and 0D Cs4PbBr6. Finally, I will show our preliminary understanding of the edge emission in 2D R-P perovskites.
