报告摘要:

  The feverish research activityon lead halide perovskites has been fueled by their exceptional optoelectronicproperties, e.g., in solar cells and light-emitting devices. Hybrid lead halideperovskites exhibit carrier properties that resemble those of pristine nonpolarsemiconductors despite static and dynamic disorder, but how carriers areprotected from efficient scattering with charged defects and optical phonons isunknown. We have recently put forward the large polaronmodel to explain the carrier protection [1,2]. We find that nascent chargecarriers are screened by “solvation” or large-polaron formation on time scales≤ 250 fs, leading to protected carriers with dramatic suppression of electron-LO phonon scattering. This results in long-lived energetic electrons withexcess energy ~ 0.25 eV above the conduction band minimum and with lifetime onthe order of 100 ps, which is ≥103 time longer than those inconventional semiconductors. The exceptionally long-lived energetic carrierslead to hot fluorescence emission on the ~100-200 ps time scale. The protectionof energetic carriers is directly correlated with the liquid-like motion oforganic cations, as revealed by femtosecond Kerr-effect spectroscopy. Incontrast to that of energetic carriers, the protection of long-lived bandedgecarriers do not require the presence of organic cations and is an intrinsicproperty of the soft perovskite lattice [3]. Finally, we will discuss stronglight-matter interaction leading to efficient exciton-polariton formation andour most recent observation of coherent light emission without populationinversion; this is distinctively different than our earlier findings ofefficient lasing in these materials [4].

ResearchInterests

Light-matter interaction, solar energy conversion,ultrafast spectroscopy. A main research thrust is to establish newphotophysical mechanisms that may be utilized to revolutionize solar energyconversion or light emission. As examples, recent discoveries in our lab showedhow an electron and a hole is bound by the Coulomb potential across an organicsemiconductor interface, how one can extract hot electrons from a photoexcitedquantum dot, how an exciton can split into two via the singlet fission process,and how charge carriers can recombine in semiconductor nanostructures for laseremission.
