Abstract:
The Stokes shift is negligible in bulk perovskites but large in two-dimensional (2D) CsPbBr3 perovskites. The issue has attracted a lot of discussion, but it remains controversial. Here, we report the temperature-dependent absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of CsPbBr3 perovskite nanoplatelets (NPLs). We observe a temperature-dependent Stokes shift changing from 26 to 41 meV. This phenomenon was attributed to the exciton fine structure according to the great difference in peak width. The triple bright exciton levels all participate in the absorption process and result in a wide absorption peak, while only the lowest exciton level contributes to photon emission and exhibits a relatively narrow PL peak. The PL decay curves also present the characterization of bright and dark exciton couplings at low temperatures. The splitting of triple bright excitons is induced by the morphology anisotropy of the 2D structure, so the large Stokes shift is proposed to be an intrinsic property of 2D perovskites.

Colors 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...

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.
