Abstract:
Nonresonant optical driving of confined semiconductors can open up exciting opportunities for experimentally realizing strongly interacting photon-dressed (Floquet) states through the optical Stark effect (OSE) for coherent modulation of the exciton state. Here we report the first room-temperature observation of the Floquet biexciton-mediated anomalous coherent excitonic OSE in CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs). Remarkably, the strong exciton-biexciton interaction leads to a coherent red shift and splitting of the exciton resonance as a function of the drive photon frequency, similar to Autler-Townes splitting in atomic and molecular systems. The large biexciton binding energy of ∼71 meV and exciton-biexciton transition dipole moment of ∼25 D facilitate the hallmark observations, even at large detuning energies of >300 meV. This is accompanied by an unusual crossover from linear to nonlinear fluence dependence of the OSE as a function of the drive photon frequency. Our findings reveal crucial information on the unexplored many-body coherent interacting regime, making perovskite QDs suitable for room temperature quantum devices.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
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.
