Tunable luminescent lead bromide complexes
Lead halides are used extensively to prepare perovskite-based devices but it is less known that lead halides can also form luminescent complexes in solvents. Using polyethylene glycol as a solvent, a lead bromide complex with a photoluminescence quantum yield over 20% is obtained and the photoluminescence peak can be shifted around 50 nm with different alkylammonium bromides.
Binding Sites, Vibrations and Spin-Lattice Relaxation Times in Europium(II)-Based Metallofullerene Spin Qubits.
Abstract To design molecular spin qubits with enhanced quantum coherence, a control of the coupling between the local vibrations and the spin states is crucial, which could be realized in principle by engineering molecular structures via coordination chemistry. To this end, understanding the underlying structural factors that govern the spin relaxation is a central topic. Here, we report the investigation of the spin dynamics in a series of chemically designed europium(II)‐based endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs). By introducing a unique structural difference, i. e. metal‐cage binding site, while keeping other molecular parameters constant between different complexes, these manifest the ke…
Dimensionality Controls Anion Intermixing in Electroluminescent Perovskite Heterojunctions.
Metal halide perovskites have emerged as a promising group of materials for optoelectronic applications such as photovoltaics, light emission, and photodetectors. So-far, in particular, the stability of light-emitting devices is limited, which is in part attributed to the intrinsic ionic conductivity of these materials. High-performance devices inevitably contain heterojunctions similar to other optoelectronic devices based on oxide perovskites, II-VI, or III-V group semiconductors. To enable efficient heterojunctions, ion exchange at the interface between different layers should be controlled. Herein, we report a method that enables to control and monitor the extent of anion intermixing be…
