Temperature-Dependent Photoluminescence of CHNHPbBr Perovskite Quantum Dots and Bulk Counterparts.

Organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite is emerging as a potential emissive material for light emitting devices, such as, light emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers, which has emphasized the necessity of understanding its fundamental opto-physical properties. In this work, the temperature-dependent photoluminescence of CHNHPbBr perovskite quantum dots (QDs), polycrystalline thin film (TF), and single crystal (SC) has been studied. The optophysical properties, such as exciton-phonon scattering, exciton binding energy, and exciton decay dynamics, were investigated. The exciton-phonon scattering of perovskite is investigated, which is responsible for both PL line width broadening and nonradiative decay of excitons. The exciton binding energy of QDs, TF, and SC were estimated to be 388.2, 124.3, and 40.6 meV, respectively. The observed main exciton decay pathway for QDs is the phonon assisted thermal escape, while that for TF and SC was the thermal dissociation due to low exciton binding energy.
