The coherent coupling of light and matter gives rise to the so-called strong coupling (SC) phenomenon, resulting in new hybrid light-matter states (polaritonic states). Besides its appealing applications in lasers, this phenomenon has specially attracted researcher’s attention since it allows to modify chemical reactions [1]. A simple structure to observe SC consists of two plane-parallel mirrors with an absorbing material in between, forming an optical cavity resonant with the emission wavelength of the emitting material inside the cavity. The SC is quantified by the Rabi splitting (Ω) which is the difference in energy among the new hybrid polaritonic states.
SC have been widely studied for atoms and organic molecules such as organic dyes [2] and more recently experiments also show SC for bulk hybrid inorganic-organic perovskite (MAPbI3) and all-inorganic perovskite (CsPbBr3) in the plane-parallel configuration, reaching Rabi splitting values of several hundreds of meV [3,4]. However, low dimensional perovskite single crystals, whose exciton properties can be tuned, have been less explored.
In this work, we theoretically investigate the possibility of observing the SC phenomenon for low-dimensional MAPbBr3 and MAPbI3 nanocrystals grown inside the nanopores of a metal oxide porous matrix, as previously synthetized in our group [5]. In particular, an optical cavity is fabricated enclosing a porous matrix of SiO2 which is embedded with the perovskite nanocrystals (panel a)). Through the analysis of energy vs momentum graphics (panel b)) and the study of concentration of perovskite nanocrystals inside the porous matrix, optimized conditions are determined to observe SC in the structure.
We conclude that stronger absorption and therefore larger variations on the refractive index of the perovskite nanocrystals is needed in order to achieve significant Rabi splitting values for the experimentally doable concentrations here considered.
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.
