Description
Summary:Two-dimensional (2D) metal-halide perovskites have promising characteristics for optoelectronic applications. By incorporating Mn2+ ions into the perovskite structure, improved photoluminescence quantum yield can be achieved. This has been attributed to the formation of defect states that act as efficient recombination centers. Here, we make use of transient photoluminescence microscopy to characterize important material parameters of Mn2+-doped 2D perovskites with different doping levels. From these measurements, we visualize the importance of exciton transport as an intermediate step in the excitation of Mn2+. We model the spatiotemporal dynamics of the excited states to extract the diffusion constant and the transfer rate of the excitations to the Mn dopant sites. Interestingly, from these models, we find that the average distance an exciton needs to travel before transferring to a Mn site is significantly larger than expected from the Mn concentration obtained from elemental analysis. These insights are critical from a device design perspective
