Optically
bright lead halide perovskite nanocrystals of different
morphologies ranging from nanocubes to flat nanoplatelets to elongated
nanowires have been reported. The morphology of the nanocrystals is
expected to affect various properties such as the band edge energy
and the electron–hole exchange interaction. However, aside
from nanocubes, the investigation of optical properties in the lead
halide perovskite nanocrystals of different morphologies at the single
emitter level has been lacking. We have performed optical spectroscopy
in single CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets and observed single photon
emission without blinking. Furthermore, the photoluminescence emission
exhibits excitonic fine structure peaks similar to what has been previously
observed in nanocubes. Our work stimulates further investigations
into the excitonic and quantum optics properties when the lateral
size and morphology can be further controlled in lead halide perovskite
nanocrystals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
