SCIENCE AS ART
Electron-Hole Are In Quarantine!
Tushar Debnath, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Germany
The girls (electrons) and boys (holes) are in quarantine (confined) in different rooms (domains) of a house (nanocrystal) called “Mn-doped Perovskite Nanocrystals” due to the creation of different small rooms by the red bricks (Mn impurity) within a single nano-house, by displacing the bricks (unit cells) and known as “Ruddlesden–Popper defects.” The high-resolution image of such single Mn-doped perovskite nanocrystals was obtained from atomically resolved high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy.
