Speciation of Lanthanide Metal Ion Dopants in Microcrystalline All-Inorganic Halide Perovskite CsPbCl3

David Lyndon Emsley, Dominik Józef Kubicki, Albert Hofstetter, Daniel Prochowicz, Amita Ummadisingu

Lanthanides are versatile modulators of optoelectronic properties owing to their narrow optical emission spectra across the visible and near-infrared range. Their use in metal halide perovskites (MHPs) has recently gained prominence, although their fate in ...

Crystal-Size-Induced Band Gap Tuning in Perovskite Films

Michael Graetzel, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Amita Ummadisingu, Simone Meloni

A comprehensive picture explaining the effect of the crystal size in metal halide perovskite films on their opto-electronic characteristics is currently lacking. We report that perovskite nanocrystallites exhibit a wider band gap due to concurrent quantum ...
