The dark exciton ground state promotes photon-pair emission in individual perovskite nanocrystals

Abstract: Cesium lead halide perovskites exhibit outstanding optical and electronic properties for a wide range of applications in optoelectronics and for light-emitting devices. Yet, the physics of the band-edge exciton, whose recombination is at the origin of the photoluminescence, is not elucidated. Here, we unveil the exciton fine structure of individual cesium lead iodide perovskite nanocrystals and demonstrate that it is governed by the electron-hole exchange interaction and nanocrystal shape anisotropy. The lowes… Show more

“…Early investigations of the PL decay from ensembles of CsPbBr 3 perovskite NCs have unveiled the onset of a long-time component under high magnetic fields (above 10 T), pointing to magnetic brightening of a long-lived state attributed to the dark exciton [ 50 , 51 ]. The direct spectroscopic signature of the dark exciton emission under magnetic fields has recently been discovered on hybrid organic–inorganic FAPbBr 3 and fully inorganic CsPbI 3 single NCs [ 40 , 42 ], showing evidence for both perovskite species that the ground exciton state is the dark singlet state lying a few meV below the bright triplet in these perovskite NCs ( Figure 2 a–c). The identification of the bright state that is coupled with the dark state is readily deduced from the polarization of the emission lines, as shown in Figure 2 d for a FAPbBr 3 NC.…”

“…At temperatures of a few Kelvins, the PL intensity of single lead halide perovskite NCs is usually stable, with shot-noise limited variations over minutes of integration time ( Figure 1 d). Since thermal dephasing is significantly reduced, single NCs of various compositions such as CsPbBr 3 [ 4 , 15 , 30 , 33 , 37 , 38 , 39 ], CsPbI 3 [ 32 , 40 , 41 ], FAPbBr 3 [ 42 , 43 ], FAPbI 3 [ 44 ], MAPbBr 3 [ 45 ] and MAPbI 3 [ 46 ] show extremely sharp lines in their PL spectrum, with line widths often limited by the resolution of the spectrograph (few hundreds of μeV), as shown in Figure 1 e,f. These peaks are assigned to zero-phonon radiative recombination lines (ZPLs) of the band-edge neutral exciton.…”
