Abstract
We investigate the effect of Coulomb interactions on the electronic states of a single perovskite quantum dot (PQD), CsPbBr3, through scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S). Under a weak interaction regime, where the time-averaged occupation of electrons in a PQD remains zero, the peaks observed in the differential tunneling conductance (dI/dV) spectrum correspond to the single-particle density of states (DOS) without any electron-electron correlation. However, with a shorter tunnel distance between the STM tip and PQD, additional electrons are trapped in the QD, leading to a strong interaction regime with well-defined electronic fine structures due to the lifting of spin degeneracy in the conduction bands. Interestingly, we observe that the strong Coulomb interaction can modify the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) strength in the PQDs. We have concluded that the energy levels under a strong electron-electron interaction regime are of utmost importance since they will be applicable to electrically pumped PQD-based single photon quantum emitters.
