Two-dimensional Ruddlesden-Popper metal halides (2D-RPMHs) are materials composed of quasi-2D layers of metal-halide octahedra separated by long (~1nm) organic cationic layers. The latter facilitate electron and hole quantum confinement within the metal-halide layers resulting in a quantum-well like structure. Properties of excitons (i.e., the electron-hole bound states) in such structures are characterized by strong binding energy (>200 meV) arising from the dynamically screened Coulomb interactions [1]. We have experimentally observed that polaronic effects arising from the lattice dressing of the carriers, are not only active but that they fundamentally define excitons in 2D-RPMHs [2]. We thus refer to such excitons as the exciton-polarons, with properties that are measurably distinct than those of free excitons in semiconductors [1]. In this talk, I will discuss the quantum dynamics of exciton-polarons and provide spectroscopic insights into the peculiar phonon-phonon [3], exciton-phonon and exciton-exciton [4] interactions. I will present our perspective on how the coherent optical response of 2D perovskites can be effectively rationalized within the “exciton-polaron” framework, in which lattice dressing of photo-carriers constitute an integral component of excitonic wavefunction [1], with consequences on exciton recombination dynamics and diffusion.

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.
