摘 要:Understanding and control of ultrafast non-equilibrium processes in semiconductors is key to making use of the full photon energy before relaxation,leading to new ways to break efficiency limits for solar energy *** this work,we demonstrate the observation and modulation of slow relaxation in uniformly mixed tin-lead perovskites(MASn_(x)Pb_(1-x)I_(3)and CsSn_(x)Pb_(1-x)I_(3)nanocrystals).Transient absorption measurements reveal that slow cooling mediated by a hot phonon bottleneck effect appears at carrier densities above~10^(18)cm^(−3)for tin-lead alloy nanocrystals,and tin addition is found to give rise to suppressed *** the alloy nanoparticles,the combination of a newly introduced high-energy band,screened Fröhlich interaction,suppressed Klemens decay and reduced thermal conductivity(acoustic phonon transport)with increased tin content contributes to the slowed *** inorganic nanocrystals where defect states couple strongly with carriers,sodium doping has been confirmed to benefit in maintaining hot carriers by decoupling them from deep defects,leading to a decreased energy-loss rate during thermalization and an enhanced hot phonon bottleneck *** slow cooling we observe uncovers the intrinsic photophysics of perovskite nanocrystals,with implications for photovoltaic applications where suppressed cooling could lead to hot-carrier solar cells.
