Abstract
Recent reports on temporal photoluminescence (PL) intensity fluctuations (blinking) within localized domains of organo-metal lead halide (hybrid) perovskite microcrystals have invoked considerable interest to understand their origins. Using PL microscopy, we have investigated the effect of atmospheric constituents and photoillumination on spatially extended intensity fluctuations in methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr3) perovskite materials, explicitly for micrometer (ca. 1–2 μm)-sized crystals. Increase in the relative humidity of the ambience results in progressive reduction in the PL intensity, and beyond a threshold value, individual microcrystalline grains exhibit multistate PL intermittency (flickering), which is characteristically different from quasi two-state blinking observed in nanocrystals. Such flickering disappears upon removal of moisture, accompanied by considerable enhancement of the overall PL efficiency. We hypothesize that initiation of moisture-induced degradation marked by the loweri...
