Packing-Shape Effects of Optical Properties in Amplified Spontaneous Emission through Dynamics of Orbit-Orbit Polarization Interaction in Hybrid Perovskite Quantum Dots Based on Self-Assembly.

Abstract

This paper reports packing-shape effects of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) through orbital polarization dynamics between light-emitting excitons by stacking perovskite (MAPbBr3) quantum dots (QDs sized between 10 nm and 14 nm) into rod-like and diamond-like aggregates. The rod-like packing shows a prolonged photoluminescence (PL) lifetime (184 ns) with 3 nm red-shifted peak (525 nm) as compared to the diamond-like packing (PL peak, 522 nm; lifetime, 19 ns). This indicates that the rod-like packing forms a stronger interaction between QDs with reduced surface-charged defects, leading to surface-to-inside property-tuning capability with an ASE. Interestingly, the ASE enabled by rod-like packing shows an orbit-orbit polarization interaction between light-emitting excitons, identified by linearly/circularly polarized pumping conditions. More importantly, the polarization dynamics is extended to the order of nanoseconds in the rod-like assembly, determined by the observation that within the ASE lifetime (2.54 ns) the rotating pumping beam polarization direction largely affects the coherent interaction between light-emitting excitons.
