研究目的
To analyze the characteristics of photoluminescence intermittency in organic-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals and explore its dependence on the surrounding atmosphere, particularly the role of oxygen.
研究成果
The photoluminescence intermittency in MAPbBr3 nanocrystals is strongly influenced by the surrounding atmosphere, with oxygen promoting higher emission levels and nitrogen leading to quenching. A mechanism involving the creation and annihilation of halide-related traps under light irradiation, modulated by atmospheric conditions, is proposed. This understanding could guide strategies to improve the luminescent properties of perovskite materials for optoelectronic applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to MAPbBr3 nanocrystals with an average size of 40nm, which is above the quantum confinement regime. The mechanisms proposed are based on correlations and may not fully capture all aspects of trap dynamics. The irreversibility of PL quenching in N2 atmosphere for nanocrystals, unlike bulk materials, indicates potential degradation issues that could limit practical applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a laser scanning confocal microscope to investigate the photoluminescence (PL) properties of MAPbBr3 nanocrystals under continuous wave illumination. The methodology included time-resolved PL measurements and spectral analysis to observe intermittency and its atmospheric dependence.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
MAPbBr3 nanocrystals were synthesized as a sub-product during the synthesis of micron-sized platelets using a published method. Samples were deposited on zero-fluorescence glass cover-slides for optical characterization.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a Zeiss LSM 700 Duo confocal microscope with a high N.A. oil-immersion objective, a CW diode laser operating at 488nm, PMTs for detection, and a high-speed camera (Zeiss LSM 5 Live). Materials included MAPbBr3 precursor solutions, surfactants, and cover-slides.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Samples were illuminated with a laser at 0.2 W/cm2 power. PL intensity and spectra were collected over time with 33ms steps using the high-speed camera. Atmospheres (air, O2, N2) were controlled to study their effects on PL intermittency.
5:2 W/cm2 power. PL intensity and spectra were collected over time with 33ms steps using the high-speed camera. Atmospheres (air, O2, N2) were controlled to study their effects on PL intermittency.
Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: PL time traces were analyzed for intensity levels and duration statistics. Count rate histograms were generated to identify discrete PL levels. Spectral data were fitted to Gaussian curves, and power law distributions were applied to duration statistics.
