Bandgap in orthorhombic thin lead halide perovskite (CsPbBr3) nanosheets measured from STEM-EELS
英文摘要：
Inorganic lead halide perovskites are promising candidates for optoelectronic applications, due to their bandgap tunability, high photoluminescence quantum yield, and narrow emission line widths. In particular, they offer the possibility to vary the bandgap as a function of the halide composition and dimension/shape of the crystals at the nanoscale. Here we present an aberration-corrected scanning transmission microscopy (STEM) study of extended nanosheets of CsPbBr3 directly demonstrating their orthorhombic crystal structure and their lateral termination with Cs-Br planes. The bandgaps from individual nanosheets are measured by monochromated electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). We find an increase of the bandgap starting at thicknesses below 10 nm, confirming the less dramatic effect of 1D confinement in nanosheets compared to the 3D confinement observed in quantum dots, as predicted by density functional theory calculations and optical spectroscopy data from ensemble measurements.
