研究目的
Investigating the thin film structure of organic metal halide Ruddlesden?Popper layered perovskite phases to understand phase purity and its impact on electronic properties.
研究成果
The study concludes that thin films of Ruddlesden?Popper phases exhibit significant structural disorder but maintain low electronic disorder, suggesting that lead iodide domains are electronically isolated from each other. This insight is crucial for optimizing devices with layered perovskites.
研究不足
The study is limited by the difficulty in assessing phase purity from X-ray scattering due to overlap between peaks from different phases and the challenge of identifying phases with larger n values in a dominantly lower n sample. Additionally, the presence of nanoscale MAPbI3 domains complicates the interpretation of electronic properties.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS), spatially resolved photoluminescence measurements, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS) to characterize the thin film structure.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Thin films of (C4H9NH3)2(CH3NH3)n?1PbnI3n+1 were cast from solutions in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) by spin-coating onto cleaned, z-cut quartz substrates.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments included GIWAXS setup, TEM, PDS setup, and atomic force microscope (AFM). Materials included butylammonium methylammonium lead iodide and quartz substrates.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Films were characterized by GIWAXS for average composition, photoluminescence for micrometer-scale structure, TEM for nanoscale structure, and PDS for electronic properties.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis involved fitting scattering peaks, analyzing emission profiles, indexing diffraction patterns, and fitting Urbach tails.
