Abstract:
Time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) of isolated methylammonium lead tribromide (MAPbBr3) perovskite crystalline platelets is studied under applied electric fields to understand the influence of ion conformational and translational dynamics on charge recombination dynamics. MAPbBr3 PL decays and intensity transients over ∼100 ps to 10 s time scales show large modulation upon application of electric fields up to ∼ ±10(7) V/m that we attribute primarily to reorientation of the methylammonium cation (MA(+)) dipole moments. On longer time scales, a large fraction of electric field-dependent PL intensity transients exhibit oscillatory behavior and undergo spontaneous switching on time scales comparable to ion drift (∼1-10 s). PL modulation behavior decreases significantly with aging, suggesting diminished reorientational susceptibility (conformational flexibility) of MA(+) groups to applied electric fields.

02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
