Abstract:
Two-dimensional (2D) perovskites host tightly bound excitons with a fine structure shaped by spin-orbit coupling and exchange interaction. In the prototypical 2D perovskite, (PEA)2PbI4, the dark exciton lies below two bright excitons and a gray state. In-plane magnetic fields split the bright excitons, polarize them longitudinally (L) and transversely (T) to the field, and hybridize them with gray and dark states, respectively. The impact of magnetic fields on exciton emission and diffusion has remained largely unexplored. Here, we investigate time- and temperature-resolved magneto-optics and magneto-transport of excitons in (PEA)2PbI4. We demonstrate that magnetic fields enhance emission from XT excitons and accelerate the transport of XL states. We trace this back to suppressed scattering of XT states into dark excitons, while XL states form highly mobile hot dark excitons. The acquired microscopic insights offer guidance for experimental studies on magneto-optics and magneto-transport in layered 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...

Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets....
Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
