Abstract
In this article we focus on the optical properties of a luminescent two-dimensional organic–inorganic material (thiopheneethyl ammonium lead iodide) with the formula (C4H3SC2H4NH3)2[PbI4]. This compound exhibits a self-assembled nano-layered structure, forming a multi-quantum wells (QWs) structure. X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that thin films deposited by a spin coating method were highly oriented with the c-axis perpendicular to the substrate surface. The optical properties were investigated by, absorption, ellipsometry and photoluminescence spectroscopy. At room temperature a strong photoluminescence, due to exciton confined in the PbI quantum well, is found around 2.32eV. The Stokes shift was determined and compared with those found for homologous materials. The exciton-phonon interaction was also investigated by studying the temperature dependence of photoluminescence. The exciton-phonon coupling constants for both acoustic and optical phonons were extracted using a phenomenological model are more than one order of magnitude larger than in conventional QWs.
