Control of exciton transport is critical for the operation of quantum dot (QD) solids in optoelectronic devices. Exciton diffusion in perovskite QDs typically occurs through Förster resonant energy transfer, which depends on both the optical properties and spatial arrangement of the quantum dots. Recent synthetic advancements have allowed for more control over both these factors in binary nanocrystal superlattices (BNSLs). Additionally, the high degree of structural order in superlattices has the potential to result in coherent enhancements to exciton transport. Here, we use time-resolved photoluminescence microscopy to compare the exciton diffusivity as a function of temperature in a BNSL containing both 5.3 nm and 17.7 nm CsPbBr3 QDs, an ordered film of 17.7 nm CsPbBr3 QDs, and a disordered film of 5.3 nm CsPbBr3 QDs. We find that although photoluminescence from the BNSL is dominated by emission from the 17.7 nm QDs, the exciton diffusivity is higher in the BNSL than in the ordered 17.7 nm QDs at every temperature. Additionally, at cryogenic temperatures, the exciton diffusivity in the BNSL is about twice as large as the exciton diffusivity in either of the monodisperse samples. While this enhanced transport likely does not result from coherence, it is still a consequence of the higher structural order in the BNSL.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
