Abstract:
We investigate the hot carrier and exciton dynamics in two-dimensional (2D) metal halide perovskites using time-resolved spectroscopy. 2D perovskite films were prepared with and without dimethyl sulfoxide treatment to elucidate the effect of film processing techniques on optoelectronic properties. Femtosecond transient absorption measurements reveal that the charge carrier dynamics are different in the two samples, and excitons survive for a longer time in the treated sample than the untreated one. While the early-time carrier dynamics in the untreated sample are dominated by charges trapped by defect states, the hot free carriers govern the dynamics in the treated sample due to fewer defects in it. Morphological and other spectroscopic studies, including time-resolved photoluminescence, further suggest the formation of more defects in the untreated sample. These results can guide the future development of efficient 2D perovskite-based optoelectronic 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.
