Abstract

Nanocrystals of lead halide perovskites have been shown to have extraordinary photoluminescence properties, spanning the entire visible range achieved by the composition tuning via solid solutions at the halide site. Taking cues from Mn doping of traditional Group II-VI semiconductor quantum dots, Mn doping of the lead halide perovskites has been extensively explored by the community, establishing intense Mn-dopant induced emission that is significantly Stokes shifted from the excitonic emissions of the host. While all reports agree on the essential features of this emission, such as the peak position and the width of the Mn photoluminescence, there appears to be little agreement on the microscopic processes by which the host sensitizes Mn following its photoexcitation and the steps that control the deexcitation leading to the Mn emission. There are even reports of disagreement between different reports on the temperature dependence of the Mn emission and its origin. I shall discuss the present status of this field and establish, with the help of new experimental data as well as the already reported ones, what appears to be the microscopic processes controlling the excited dynamics in the Mn-doped lead halide perovskites.
