Multi-excitons and correlation effects in perovskite nanocrystals
Résumé
Up to date, perovskites have remained to be one of the most fashionable names in the research of
photovoltaic materials, achieving an efficiency reaching over 25% without the use of tandem structure
[1]. Apart from being excellent materials for solar cells, perovskites have also shown to be an extremely
promising candidate for both classical and quantum light sources [2, 3]. Recent advancements in
synthesis and surface treatment have allowed a more precise control of emission from nanostructures
[4, 5]. In this context, our theoretical work aims to investigate the electronic and optical properties of
the systems of single exciton and beyond. Previous calculations on nanocubes or spherical nanocrystals
have demonstrated the correlation origin of exciton fine-structure [6] and biexciton/trion emission [7].
In this talk, we will present the configuration interaction approach to take into account the correlation
effects in these systems in a more systematic and complete manner.
