Abstract:
Two-dimensional (2D) perovskites are an emerging class of layered materials with unique optoelectronic properties. To date, most 2D perovskites with Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phase reported are organic- inorganic hybrid perovskites with long organic spacers. Here, we report a high-quality all-inorganic 2D perovskite, Cs2PbI2Cl2, synthesized by an aqueous method. The as-synthesized perovskite crystals exhibit large in-plane emission and reflection optical anisotropy. The maximum in-plane linear dichroic ratio is up to 9.6 for exciton emission and 2.0 for reflection at 77 K. The large in-plane optical anisotropy may be ascribed to the strong electron-phonon interaction-induced lattice distortion. The large optical anisotropy enables us to construct a polarization-sensitive photodetector based on this perovskite, for which the linear dichroic ratio of photoresponse is about 1.2. Our study provides an alternative avenue to achieve in-plane optical anisotropy in an isotropy structure and thus would be of great importance for polarization-associated applications.

Crystal 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,...
Crystal 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.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
