On the Origin of Room-Temperature Amplified Spontaneous Emission in CsPbBr 3 Single Crystals

CsPbBr 3 is an all-inorganic halide perovskite with excellent photoluminescence (PL) properties for laser applications. Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) is a prerequisite for lasing and typically observed from low-dimensional CsPbBr3 nanostructures, where quantum confinement enhances ASE. However, a gain medium for lasing should be prepared into a robust bulk form that works under intense light illumination. Here, we demonstrate that bulk CsPbBr 3 single crystals exhibit highly efficient ASE with a threshold of 46 MWcm -2 at 520 nm, if PL reabsorption via the indirect Rashba gap is properly suppressed by thickness control. Based on a series of spectroscopic and microscopic measurements, we show that this below-the-gap absorption can significantly alter the PL feature and even the apparent color of the crystal depending on the crystal size. Our results show that a thin CsPbBr 3 single crystal can be utilized for lasing applications when engineered into a submillimeter thickness for effective light–matter interaction.

Temperature-dependent behavior in the local structure of BaTiO 3 nanocrystals

Here, we use pair distribution function analysis of synchrotron X-ray total scattering data to inspect the local structure of BaTiO 3 nanocrystals from 253 K < T < 413 K. The local structure consists of ca. r = 35 Å domains in which Ti 4+ displacements have the same coherence length as the overall perovskite structure.
