Abstract :
High-quality CsPbCl3 films composed of crystallites with narrow size distributions are achieved for various size levels, from microcrystalline to polycrystalline, by a novel heat-treatment method applied to the same amorphous films. Their photoluminescence is dominated by free-exciton emission at every size level without showing trapped-exciton emission in great contrast to the case for single crystals. The microcrystalline state shows more than an order of magnitude stronger free-exciton emission than the polycrystalline state, and exhibits intense stimulated emission under high-power excitation.
