Abstract:
Halide perovskites are novel photonics materials promising numerous applications in fields such as photovoltaics, LED light sources, microlasers, and radiation detectors. Many halide perovskites are direct-gap semiconductors, and Wannier-Mott excitons play a significant role in their optical properties near the fundamental absorption edge. The high oscillator strength of these states favors applications where efficient interaction with light is required. In this work, to study excitonic states in CsPbBr3 halide perovskite single crystals, the reflection spectroscopy at temperatures from 4 K was used. A reflection coefficient up to 70% was observed for the n=1 exciton state, followed by weak excited states of excitons with n=2 and n=3. It should be noted that the Sommerfeld enhancement factor should be considered for a correct description of the behavior of the dielectric constant, taking into account excitonic effects.

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.

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,...
