Microcavity exciton-polaritons are bosonic quasiparticles that result from the hybridization of excitons and modes of a confined electromagnetic field in a regime known as strong light-matter coupling. Having a low effective mass, polaritons can undergo condensation, the macroscopic occupation of the lowest energy and momentum state. Two-dimensional (2D) perovskites are promising candidates for polariton condensation due to their high exciton binding energies, low non-radiative recombination rates and strong oscillator strengths. However, despite their optimal optoelectronic properties, there are no reports of room temperature polariton condensation in 2D perovskites and only one unreproduced report at low temperature. In this study, we systematically examine the interplay between the emission from the exciton reservoir and the population of the lower polariton. We gain insights on how the spectral features of the emission of 2D perovskites affect polariton relaxation and onto one of the mechanisms making polariton condensation challenging in 2D perovskites.
Metal Halide Perovskite (MHP) photodetectors exhibit remarkable potential as they combine high specific detectivities, fast response speeds, precise modulation of film optical properties, and seamless integration with read-out integrated circuitry. To attain such performances and maintain them requires an accurate design of charge transport layers. Here we demonstrate how solution processed organic-inorganic interlayers based on metal oxide nanoparticles and polymer mixes enable fast and sensitive visible MHP photodiodes, while warranting stability and pixel-to-pixel reproducibility superior to those of the individual materials. The talk will finish by providing an overview of a broader range of applications of MHP detectors for high and low energy radiation detection.
In situ multimodal microscopic x-ray characterizations demonstrate their unique capabilities in revealing the mechanisms of material degradation and the pathways for mitigation in energy harvesting applications such as halide perovskite solar cells. Despite the excellent device performance exhibited by halide perovskites, their sensitive nature and material interfaces necessitate a precisely controlled and tunable characterization environment to identify the sources of device performance loss. In this work, we designed an in-situ sample chamber that allows the control of various environmental conditions, including heat, illumination, and bias, while simultaneously collecting chemical (X-ray fluorescence, XRF), optical (X-ray Excited Optical Luminescence, XEOL), and performance (X-ray Beam Induced Current, XBIC) measurements on functional devices. The integrated thermoelectric cooler module of the designed chamber enables controlled heating up to 100 °C and rapid cooling back down to room temperature. This allows simultaneous multimodal XRF, XEOL and XBIC signal collections on Cs0.05FA0.95PbI3 perovskite devices at various temperatures. The results show increasing homogeneity in the XBIC maps and continuous reduction in XEOL intensity, with a redshift in XEOL peak positions as sample temperatures increase. The results of the simultaneous multimodal study pave the way for improved in situ sample environments for future photovoltaic device characterizations.
