Abstract:
Herein, we report temperature- and field-induced magnetic states in CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) attributed to Br defects. We find that temperature-dependent structural distortion is the main source of various temperature-induced magnetic states in Br-defect host CsPbBr3 PQDs. Comprehensively examined magnetization data through Arrott plots, Langevin and Brillouin function fitting, and structural analysis reveal the presence of various oxidation states (i.e., Pb0, Pb+, Pb2+, and Pb3+) yielding different magnetic states, such as diamagnetic states above 90 K, paramagnetic states below ≈90 K, and perhaps locally ordered states between 58 and 90 K. It is realized from theoretical fits that paramagnetic ions exist (i.e., superparamagnetic behavior) due to Br defects causing Pb+ (and/or Pb3+ ions) in the diamagnetic region. We anticipate that our findings will spur future research of the development of spin-optoelectronics, such as spin light-emitting diodes, and spintronics devices based on CsPbBr3 PQDs.

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...

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.
CFT focuses on...
