Title: Single-Particle Spectroscopy as a Versatile Tool to Explore Lower-Dimensional Structures of Inorganic Perovskites

Abstract

The remarkable defect tolerant nature of inorganic cesium halide perovskites leading to near unity photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY) and narrow emission linewidth across the entire visible spectrum, have provided a tantalizing platform for a development of a plethora of light-emitting applications. Recently, lower dimensional (2D, 1D, and 0D) perovskites have attracted further attention due to the enhanced thermal, photo and chemical stability as compared to their three-dimensional (3D) analogues. Combination of the external size quantization and internal octahedral organization provides a unique opportunity to study and harness “multidimensional” electronic properties engineered both on atomic scale and the nanoscale. However, crucial research to understand the elementary charge carrier dynamics in lower dimensional perovskites lags far behind the enormous effort to incorporate them into optoelectronic devices. In this Perspective, we provide a review of recent developments that focus on studies of the dynamics of excitonic complexes in Cs-based perovskite nanocrystals using single-particle time-resolved PL spectroscopy and photon correlation measurements. Single photon statistical studies not only offer the unprecedented level of detail to directly assess various recombination pathways but also provide insights into specifics of carrier’s localization. Further, we discuss the underlying physicochemical processes that govern PL emission and draw attention tomore » a number of attributes within this class of the materials, especially lower-dimensional perovskites that may indicate the common origin of the PL emission, as well as provide a route map for the vast unexplored territories where single particle spectroscopy can be a powerful tool to unravel crucial information.« less
