Long-range ordered nanocrystal superlattices (NC SLs) can combine the attractive properties of the individual nanocrystal constituents with new collective optoelectronic phenomena emerging through the periodic NC assembly. Perovskite NCs have emerged as highly attractive SLs building blocks, based on their facile fabrication as sharp, monodisperse cubes and the appearance of new collective effects such as superfluorescence [1]. 

Binary superlattices of the ABO6 type produced via self-assemblies of CsPbBr3 NCs, with sizes in the strong- (~5 nm) and weak- confinement (~18 nm) regime, are being demonstrated for the first time. The presented work discusses the optical properties of such binary SLs and the interactions between the strongly and weakly confined excitons. Transient photoluminescence and absorption measurements indicate efficient depletion of the small NC exciton population at the timescale of few to tens of picoseconds. Simultaneously a delay in the transient absorption rise time signal of the large NC exciton bleaching is observed. Such results support the presence of efficient energy funneling from the small to the large NCs within the binary superstructure. On-going experimental investigations are underway to provide further understanding on the impact of the energy transfer on the superfluorescence process as well as its competition with hot carrier transfer between the small and large NCs in the binary SLs.
