Abstract:
The metal halide perovskite CsPbBr3 bulk crystals present electrical and optical performance discrepancy since the grown-in defects. Here, we first report the well-defined secondary phase (SP) particles of CsPb2Br5 with polyhedral morphology in CsPbBr3 crystals grown by the vertical Bridgman method. The resulting polyhedral morphology of CsPb2Br5 particles associated with the trapping of PbBr2-rich droplets have been discussed on the basis of the "matrix-controlled" growth. Two morphological evolution paths are proposed, which result in a regular cube SP particle comprised by {100} facets for the final equilibrium. Furthermore, the wafer with superior optical transmittance exhibits a higher photoelectric response on-off ratio (∼2000) in contrast to ∼80 for the wafer with high density SP particles. The corresponding hole mobility (μh) is calculated with the values 289.99 and 26.91 cm-2·V-1·s-1, respectively. The variation of μh is attributed to the carrier transport trajectory affected by SP induced trapping defects and the weak combination.

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

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,...
