Strong Triplet-Exciton-LO-Phonon Coupling in Two-Dimensional Layered Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Perovskite Single Crystal Microflakes.

Two-dimensional (2D) layered hybrid perovskites provide an ideal platform for studying the properties of excitons. Here, we report on a strong triplet-exciton and longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon coupling in 2D (CHCHCHNH, PEA)PbBr perovskites. The triplet excitons exhibit strong photoluminescence (PL) in thick perovskite microflakes, and the PL is not detectable for monolayer microflakes. The coupling strength of the triplet exciton-LO phonon is approximately two to three times greater than that of the singlet exciton-LO phonon with a LO phonon energy of about 21 meV. This difference might due to the different locations of singlet excitons located in the well and triplet excitons located in the barrier in the 2D layered perovskite. Revealing the strong coupling of triplet exciton-LO phonon provides a fundamental understanding of many-body interaction in hybrid perovskites, which is useful to develop and optimize the optoelectronic devices based on 2D perovskites in the future.
