Abstract
Lower-dimensional metal halide perovskites have been recognized as an efficient white light emitter. The broad band emission spectrum originates from the recombination of excited charge carriers through free excitons (FEs), self-trapped excitons (STEs), and defect-trapped excitons. However, the emission properties of zero-dimensional (0-D) perovskites have not been explored extensively. Here, in this work, we have performed low-temperature absorbance, photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation (PLE), PL lifetime, and Raman measurements to understand the exciton relaxation processes in Cs4PbBr6 NCs. Our experimental observations indicate that two distinct UV light spectra evolved from the photoexcited carrier recombination through FE and STE states. We emphasize that such UV light sources can be beneficial for various applications, like curing of materials, disinfection of viruses, hygiene control, etc.
