ABX3-type halide perovskites are a promising class of functional semiconductor materials from the perspectives of materials physics and optoelectronic applications, owing to their unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. Their thin films, bulk single crystals, atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) quantum layers, and zero-dimensional (0D) quantum dots exhibit high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields at room temperature. Lead halide perovskites are defect-tolerant semiconductors, exhibiting intrinsic free-carrier or free-exciton recombination PL [1,2]. Perovskites are also soft materials that display strong electron-phonon coupling [3], which induces carrier mass enhancement [4], phonon-bottleneck effects in hot-carrier relaxation [5], and efficient anti-Stokes PL [6]. Using high-quality 0D quantum dot samples, we have successfully demonstrated laser cooling of perovskite semiconductors through efficient anti-Stokes PL [7]. In addition, room-temperature ferroelectricity in 2D layers can be chemically engineered, and the coexistence of ferroelectricity and luminescence opens new avenues for nonlinear optoelectronic devices [8]. This talk discusses the fundamental semiconductor photophysics of lead halide perovskites.
