“…The discovery of new solid-state materials for emerging applications is extremely important, and many crystals with such specific characteristics as nonlinear-optical properties, wide transparency range, low compressibility, negative thermal expansion, photoluminescence properties, and promising electronic and magnetic parameters were designed and evaluated in the past few years. − Recently, inorganic lead halide perovskite-related compounds have become promising functional materials for optoelectronic applications because of their remarkable spectroscopic and electronic properties, including tunable band gap and appropriate chemical stability. − Earlier, cesium lead halides and other closely related compounds were obtained in the macroscopic forms of thin films, powders, and bulk crystals using different technological approaches, and many key physical properties were measured, which yields a basis for a wide comparison and selection of optimal materials for use at a nanoscale. − Intrinsically, the specific physical properties of lead halides originate from the PbX 6 basic functional units existing in the perovskite-related crystals. From a structural point of view, on the basis of the PbX 6 octahedra connection, the lead perovskite dimensionality was classified into zero-dimensional (0D), two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D) structures.…”
