Solution-processed thin films of lead halide perovskites show exceptional optoelectronic properties, making them interesting candidates for a range of applications such as solar cells and light-emitting diodes. The thickness and crystallite-size in these films is typically in the sub-micron range, resulting in an abundance of grain-boundaries. Here we will describe techniques for growing thin single-crystalline lead perovskite crystallites with edge lengths of several tens of microns and thicknesses of around 1 micron, starting from single-source 1D lead halide perovskite precursors. We report our recent work of fabricating active electro-optical modulators (AEOM) from these crystals using focused-ion beam milling. These AEOMs exhibit > 98% light transmission intensity modulation with an applied external voltage of 45 V. In the final section of this talk we will report our recent efforts of growing single-crystalline mixed-halide lead perovskite platelets and demonstrate the visualization of photoinduced phase segregation in these materials.1 Upon illumination we observe the formation of iodide-rich domains throughout the entire crystal, demonstrating that light-induced phase segregation also occurs efficiently in absence of grain boundaries. Narrowband fluorescence imaging and time-resolved spectroscopy provided new insight into the nature of phase segregated domains and the collective impact on optoelectronic properties.
