Abstract
The temperature dependence of the bandgap of perovskite semiconductor compound CsSnI3 is determined by measuring excitonic emission at low photoexcitation in a temperature range from 9 to 300 K. The bandgap increases linearly as the lattice temperature increases with a linear coefficient of 0.35 meV K−1. This behavior is distinctly different than that in most of tetrahedral semiconductors. First-principles simulation is employed to predict the bandgap change with the rigid change of lattice parameters under a quasi-harmonic approximation. It is justified that the thermal contribution dominates to the bandgap variation with temperature, while the direct contribution of electron-phonon interaction is conjectured to be negligible likely due to the unusual large electron effective mass for this material.
