Lead-halide perovskite APbX3 (A=Cs or organic cation; X=Cl, Br, I) quantum dots (QDs) are subject of intense research due to their exceptional properties as both classical1 and quantum light sources.2-4 Here, we report a comprehensive investigation of the room temperature single QD optical properties. The results reveal the origin of the QD homogeneous PL linewidths, and the peculiar size-dependent exciton photoluminescence line broadening and the exciton and multi-excitons recombination dynamics. Experimental results are corroborated by ab-initio molecular dynamics.
Such findings guide the further design of robust single photon sources operating at room temperature.
