Quantum and dielectric confinement effects in 2D hybrid perovskites create excitons with a binding energy exceeding 150 meV. We exploit the large exciton binding energy to study exciton and carrier dynamics as well as electron-phonon coupling in hybrid perovskites using absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. At temperatures below 75 K, we resolve splitting of the excitonic absorp...

The effects of the electron-phonon interaction on optical excitations can be understood in terms exciton-phonon coupling, and require a careful treatment low-dimensional materials with strongly bound excitons or strong electron-hole general. Through phonon absorption emission processes, optically accessible are scattered into otherwise dark finite-momentum exciton states. We derive practical ex...

The dipole coupling strength g between cavity photons and quantum well excitons determines the regime of light matter coupling in quantum well microcavities. In the strong coupling regime, a reversible energy transfer between exciton and cavity photon takes place, which leads to the formation of hybrid polaritonic resonances. If the coupling is further increased, a hybridization of different si...

The small exciton binding energy of perovskite suggests that the long-lived photoluminescence and slow recovery of the ground state bleaching of the tetragonal phase at room temperature results primarily from the decay of free charges rather than the decay of the initially created excitons. Here we demonstrate the ground state bleaching recovery of the orthorhombic phase of methylammonium lead ...

The polarised absorption coefficient of ZnSiP? near the fundamental absorption edge has been studied. Three singularities were found for E l c which are attributed to pseudodirect transitions. The absorption for El/ c is mainly due to indirect transitions. A theoretical curve was fitted to the experimental results with the aid of the relative theoretical intensities for pseudodirect transitions...

A series of monoand di-branched donor-π-acceptor charge-separated dyes incorporating triphenylamine as a donor and either Dalton’s or benzothiadiazole group as strong acceptors was synthesized and its fundamental properties relevant to the sensitization of nanocrystalline NiO investigated. The dyes exhibited an intense visible absorption band with a strong charge transfer character favorable to...
