Abstract:
Metal halide perovskite materials (MHPs) are promising for several applications due to their exceptional properties. Understanding excitonic properties is essential for exploiting these materials. For this purpose, we focus on CsPbBr3 single crystals, which have higher crystal quality, are more stable, and have no Rashba effect at low temperatures compared to other 3D MHPs. We have estimated exciton energy positions, longitudinal-transverse splitting energy, and damping energy using low-temperature reflection spectra. Under high excitation intensity, two biexciton emissions (M-emission) and exciton-exciton scattering emission (P-emission) were observed. We assign the two M-emissions to the emission to the states of longitudinal and transverse excitons, i.e., ML and MT emissions. From the energy position of the MT emission, the biexciton binding energy has been estimated to be ∼2 meV. By analyzing P-emission obtained from the back side of the sample, we have estimated the exciton binding energy to be 17.8-23.7 meV. This estimation minimizes the influence of the wavenumber distribution in the scattering process. In addition, time-resolved transmittance measurements using pulsed white light have revealed the group velocity dispersion. Comparing experimental results with theoretical calculations using the Lorentz model clarifies that exciton dynamics in CsPbBr3 can be described with a simple Lorentz model. These insights enhance the understanding of exciton behavior and support the development of exciton-based devices using MHPs.

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,...
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.

Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied...
Energy Bands in Solids
Band Formation:
When atoms are brought close together, as in a solid, these discrete energy levels begin to split due to the overlap of electron orbitals from adjacent atoms. This split occurs because of the Pauli exclusion principle, which states...
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...
