Vapor Growth and Tunable Lasing of Band Gap Engineered Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Micro/Nanorods with Triangular...

Although great efforts have been devoted to the synthesis of halide perovskites nanostructures, vapor growth of high-quality one-dimensional cesium lead halide nanostructures for tunable nanoscale lasers is still a challenge. Here, we report the growth of high-quality all-inorganic cesium lead halide alloy perovskite micro/nanorods with complete composition tuning by vapor-phase deposition. The as-grown micro/nanorods are single-crystalline with a triangular cross section and show strong photoluminescence which can be tuned from 415 to 673 nm by varying the halide composition. Furthermore, these single-crystalline perovskite micro/nanorods themselves function as effective Fabry-Perot cavities for nanoscale lasers. We have realized room-temperature tunable lasing of cesium lead halide perovskite with low lasing thresholds (∼14.1 μJ cm^-2) and high Q factors (∼3500).
