The ability to tailor the band-edge exciton fine structure is of prime importance for the realization of efficient single-photon sources or sources of entangled photons for quantum information processes. Yet, in lead halide perovskites, the physics of the fine structure is not elucidated. The band-edge exciton is formed by the Coulomb interaction between a hole in an S-like state Jh=1/2, and an electron in a spin−orbit split-off state (Je=1/2), so that the fine structure comprises a dark singlet state (J=0) and a bright triplet manifold (J=1). Recent investigations of single inorganic perovskite nanocrystals at liquid helium temperatures have revealed that the bright triplet sublevels display an intense photoluminescence and energy splittings lying in the meV range[1-3]. Since no direct signature of the dark state has been provided so far, a controversy has developed concerning the physical mechanisms at the origin of these observations.
We use low-temperature magneto-optical spectroscopy of FAPbBr3 single nanocrystals to identify their entire band-edge exciton fine structure. In particular, magnetic brightening of the dark singlet exciton shows evidence for a dark singlet state being located ~2.5 meV below the bright triplet[4]. These results are at variance with the recent statement that due to a Rashba effect, perovskite nanocrystals are the only known exception to the rule of a dark ground exciton state among all bulk semiconductors and all existing semiconductor heterostructures[3,5]. The observed bright-dark splitting is interpreted as the result of the long-range electron-hole exchange interaction. We also show that the strong photoluminescence is not hindered by the lowest dark state because of a reduced bright-to-dark spin relaxation rate in these systems, making them suitable for the development of quantum light sources.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
