Heterogeneous Cationa??Lattice Interaction and Dynamics in Triple-Cation Perovskites Revealed by Infrared Vibrational Nanoscopy
摘要： Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites exhibit extraordinary photovoltaic performance. This is believed to arise from almost liquid-like low-energy interactions among lattice ions and charge carriers. While spatial variations have recently been identified over multiple length scales in the optoelectronic responses, the relationship of the heterogeneity and the soft cation-lattice interactions has remained elusive. Here, we apply multivariate infrared vibrational nano-imaging to a formamidinium (FA)-methylammonium (MA)-cesium triple cation perovskite. By using the FA vibrational resonance as a probe of its local chemical environment, through spatial variation and correlation in composition, strength of cation-lattice coupling and its associated few-ps vibrational dynamics, we reveal how a varying local reaction field is correlated with the cation-lattice coupling. We attribute the associated heterogeneous lattice contraction to a non-uniform distribution of cesium cations. The observed varying elasticity of the lattice leads to disordered charge-phonon coupling and polaron formation, the control of which is central to improving perovskite photovoltaics.

Evidence for vacancy trapping in Au-hyperdoped Si following pulsed laser melting
摘要： Nanosecond pulsed laser melting can be used to rapidly recrystallize ion-implanted Si through liquid phase epitaxy. The rapid resolidification that follows the melting results in a supersaturation of impurities and hyperdopes the Si, inducing novel optoelectronic properties with a wide range of applications. In this work, structural changes in the Si lattice in Au-hyperdoped Si are studied in detail. Specifically, we show that the local skewing of the lattice observed previously in regions of extremely high Au concentrations (>1.4 at. %) can be related to the displacement of Au from perfect lattice positions. Surprisingly, although the incorporation of the larger Au atoms into Si is expected to cause swelling of the lattice, reciprocal space mapping shows that a small amount (0.3 at. %) of lattice contraction (decrease in lattice parameter) is present in the hyperdoped layer. Furthermore, positron annihilation spectroscopy shows an elevated concentration of vacancies in the hyperdoped layer. Based on these observations and with the aid of density functional theory, we propose a phenomenological model in which vacancies are kinetically trapped into lattice sites around substitutional Au atoms during resolidification. This vacancy trapping process is hypothesized to occur as a means to minimize lattice strain and may be universal in pulsed laser melted Si systems.
