We investigate the optical properties of a microcavity containing an organic-inorganic two-dimensional perovskite (2D perovskite) film, (C6H5C2H4NH3)2PbI4. Such 2D perovskites are known to have huge exciton binding energies (200~350 meV [1,2]) with a large oscillator strength. We observed a clear feature of cavity polaritons with a large Rabi splitting (~160 meV) at room temperature. We also observed the strong polariton–polariton interactions compared to that of the inorganic semiconductor microcavities.
We used the general structure of Fabry-Perot type microcavities like the previous work [3,4]. The bottom mirror of our microcavity is dielectric Bragg reflector (DBR) which consists of 5 pairs of TiO2/SiO2 quarter-wavelength layers on the silica glass substrate. Perovskite layer with a thickness of approximately 50 nm was spin-coated on the DBR. In order to achieve a l-cavity, 140 nm α-NPD spacer layer and Ag mirror are deposited over the perovskite layer.
We performed angle-resolved reflectivity (ARR) and angle-resolved photoluminescence (ARPL) measurements for our microcavity at room temperature. From these measurements, we observed the characteristic spectra of cavity polaritons. Furthermore, in our ARPL measurements a complicated energy shift of the lower polaritons was clearly observable as the excitation density increased and its amount reached about 10 meV which is much larger than those observed in the inorganic semiconductor microcavities [5-7]. This large energy shift of our microcavity is possibly caused by the high ratio of the exciton component in the polariton due to its large oscillator strength. Therefore, the 2D perovskite-based microcavity can be considered as a suitable system to investigate the interaction between cavity polaritons.
In our poster, we will discuss the detailed behavior of the interaction between the cavity polaritons and the possibility of achieving the Bose-Einstein condensation in the 2D perovskite-based microcavity.
