Abstract
Chiral Pb-free metal-halide semiconductors (MHSs) have attracted considerable attention in the field of spintronics due to various interesting spin-related properties and chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect. Despite their excellent chemical and structural tunability, the material scope and crystal structure of Pb-free chiral MHSs exhibiting the CISS effect are still limited; chiral MHSs that have metal-halide structures of octahedra and tetrahedra are only reported. Here, we report a new class of chiral MHSs, of which palladium (Pd)-halides are formed in 1D square-pyramidal structures or 0D square-planar structures, with a general formula of ((R/S-MBA)2PdBr4)1-x((R/S-MBA)2PdCl4)x (MBA = methylbenzylammonium; x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1) for the first time. The crystals adopt the 1D helical chain of Pd-halide square-pyramid (for x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75) and 0D structure of Pd-halide square-plane (for x = 1). All the Pd-halides are distorted by the interaction between the halide and the chiral organic ammonium and arranged in a noncentrosymmetric position. Circular dichroism (CD) for ((R/S-MBA)2PdBr4)1-x((R/S-MBA)2PdCl4)x indicates that chirality was transferred from chiral organic ammonium to Pd-halide inorganics. ((R-MBA)2PdBr4)1-x((R-MBA)2PdCl4)x (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75) shows a distortion index of 0.127-0.128, which is the highest value among the previously reported chiral MHSs to the best of our knowledge. We also find that (R/S-MBA)2Pd(Br1-xClx)4 crystals grow along the out-of-plane direction during spin coating and have high c-axis orientation and crystallinity, and (R/S-MBA)2Pd(Br1-xClx)4 (x = 0 and 0.5) crystals exhibit a CISS effect in polycrystalline bulk films. These results demonstrate the possibility of a new metal-halide series with square-planar structures or square-pyramidal structures for future spintronic applications.

Abstract
Layered two-dimensional halide perovskites (2DHPs) exhibit exciting non-equilibrium properties that allow the manipulation of energy levels through coherent light-matter interactions. Under the Floquet picture, novel quantum states manifest through the optical Stark effect (OSE) following intense subresonant photoexcitation. Nevertheless, a detailed understanding of the influence of strong many-body interactions between excitons on the OSE in 2DHPs remains unclear. Herein, we uncover the crucial role of biexcitons in photon-dressed states and demonstrate precise optical control of the excitonic states via the biexcitonic OSE in 2DHPs. With fine step tuning of the driven energy, we fully parametrize the evolution of exciton resonance modulation. The biexcitonic OSE enables Floquet engineering of the exciton resonance with either a blue-shift or a red-shift of the energy levels. Our findings shed new light on the intricate nature of coherent light-matter interactions in 2DHPs and extend the degree of freedom for ultrafast coherent optical control over excitonic states.

Abstract
Harnessing quantum confinement (QC) effects in semiconductors to retard hot carrier cooling (HCC) is an attractive approach for enabling efficient hot carrier extraction to overcome the Shockley-Queisser limit. However, there is a debate about whether halide perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) can effectively exploit these effects. To address this, we utilized pump-probe and multipulse pump-push-probe spectroscopy to investigate HCC behavior in PNCs of varying sizes and cation compositions. Our results validate the presence of an intrinsic phonon bottleneck with clear manifestations of QC effects in small CsPbBr3 PNCs exhibiting slower HCC rates compared to those of larger PNCs. However, the replacement of inorganic Cs+ with organic cations suppresses this intrinsic bottleneck. Furthermore, PNCs exhibit distinct size-dependent HCC behavior in response to changes in the cold carrier densities. We attribute this to the enhanced exciton-exciton interactions in strongly confined PNCs that facilitate Auger heating. Importantly, our findings dispel the existing controversy and provide valuable insights into design principles for engineering QC effects in PNC hot carrier applications.

Abstract
We report the wavelength-dependent third-order optical nonlinearity of two-dimensional halide organic-inorganic perovskite (PEA)2PbI4 film experimentally. The high-quality two-dimensional (PEA)2PbI4 film prepared via confinement-assisted drop-casting process exhibits ultrafast optical response and large third-order optical nonlinearities, and the measured nonlinear refractive index is closer to the quantum perturbation model accounting for the excitonic effect. In addition, the wavelength-dependent optical response transition from self-focusing to self-defocusing, saturable absorption to reverse saturable absorption has been observed and investigated. The experimental results confirm the large third-order optical nonlinearities in (PEA)2PbI4 film and may make inroads toward developing cost-effective high-performance optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Phonon-assisted photon upconversion holds great potential for numerous applications, e.g., optical refrigeration. However, traditional semiconductors face energy gain limitations due to thermal energy, typically achieving only ~25 milli-electron volts at room temperature. Here, we demonstrate that quasi-two-dimensional perovskites, with a soft hybrid organic-inorganic lattice, can efficiently upconvert photons with an anti-Stokes shift exceeding 200 milli-electron volts. By using microscopic transient absorption measurements and density functional theory calculations, we explicate that the giant energy gain stems from strong lattice fluctuation leading to a picosecond timescale transient band energy renormalization with a large energy variation of around ±180 milli-electron volts at room temperature. The motion of organic molecules drives the deformation of inorganic framework, providing energy and local states necessary for efficient upconversion within a time constant of around 1 ps. These results establish a deep understanding of perovskite-based photon upconversion and offer previously unknown insights into the development of various upconversion applications.

Abstract
We investigated the transmission of single and two photons in a one-dimensional waveguide that is coupled with a Kerr micro-ring resonator and a polarized quantum emitter. In both cases, a phase shift occurs, and the non-reciprocal behavior of the system is attributed to the unbalanced coupling between the quantum emitter and the resonator. Our analytical solutions and numerical simulations demonstrate that the nonlinear resonator scattering causes the energy redistribution of the two photons through the bound state. When the system is in the two-photon resonance state, the polarization of the correlated two photons is locked to their propagation direction, leading to non-reciprocity. As a result, our configuration can act as an optical diode.

Abstract
The optical Stark effect is a universal response of the electronic structure to incident light. In semiconductors, particularly nanomaterials, the optical Stark effect achieved with sub-band gap photons can drive large, narrowband, and potentially ultrafast changes in the absorption or reflection at the band gap through excitation of virtual excitons. Rapid optical modulation using the optical Stark effect is ultimately constrained, however, by the generation of long-lived excitons through multiphoton absorption. This work compares the modulation achievable using the optical Stark effect on CdSe nanoplatelets with several different pump photon energies, from the visible to mid-infrared. Despite expected lower efficiencies for spectrally-remote pump energies, infrared pump pulses can ultimately drive larger sub-picosecond optical Stark shifts of virtual excitons without creation of real excitons. The CdSe nanoplatelets show subpicosecond shifts of the lowest excitonic resonance of up to 22 meV, resulting in change in absorption as large as 0.32 OD (49% increase in transmission), with a long-lived offset from real excitons less than 1% of the peak signal.

Abstract
Manipulation of solid-state spin coherence is an important paradigm for quantum information processing. Current systems either operate at very low temperatures or are difficult to scale up. Developing low-cost, scalable materials whose spins can be coherently manipulated at room temperature is thus highly attractive for a sustainable future of quantum information science. Here we report ambient-condition all-optical initialization, manipulation and readout of hole spins in an ensemble of solution-grown CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots with a single hole in each dot. The hole spins are initialized by sub-picosecond electron scavenging following circularly polarized femtosecond-pulse excitation. A transverse magnetic field induces spin precession, and a second off-resonance femtosecond-pulse coherently rotates hole spins via strong light-matter interaction. These operations accomplish near-complete quantum-state control, with a coherent rotation angle close to the π radian, of hole spins at room temperature.

Abstract
The last decade has witnessed extensive breakthroughs and significant progress in atomically flat two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor nanoplatelets (NPLs) in terms of synthesis, growth mechanisms, optical and electronic properties and practical applications. Such NPLs have electronic structures similar to those of quantum wells in which excitons are predominantly confined along the vertical direction, while electrons are free to move in the lateral directions, resulting in unique optical properties, such as extremely narrow emission line width, short photoluminescence (PL) lifetime, high gain coefficient, and giant oscillator strength transition (GOST). These unique optical properties make NPLs favorable for high color purity light-emitting applications, in particular in light-emitting diodes (LEDs), backlights for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and lasers. This review article first introduces the intrinsic characteristics of 2D semiconductor NPLs with atomic flatness. Subsequently, the approaches and mechanisms for the controlled synthesis of atomically flat NPLs are summarized followed by an insight on recent progress in the mediation of core/shell, core/crown and core/crown@shell structures by selective epitaxial growth of passivation layers on different planes of NPLs. Moreover, an overview of the unique optical properties and the associated light-emitting applications is elaborated. Despite great progress in this research field, there are some issues relating to heavy metal elements such as Cd2+ in NPLs, and the ambiguous gain mechanisms of NPLs and others are the main obstacles that prevent NPLs from widespread applications. Therefore, a perspective is included at the end of this review article, in which the current challenges in this stimulating research field are discussed and possible solutions to tackle these challenges are proposed.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals are attracting considerable interest as next-generation optoelectronic materials. Optical responses of nanocrystals are determined by excitons and exciton complexes such as trions and biexcitons. Understanding of their dynamics is indispensable for the optimal design of optoelectronic devices and the development of new functional properties. Here, we summarize the recent advances on the exciton and biexciton photophysics in lead halide perovskite nanocrystals revealed by femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy and single-dot spectroscopy. We discuss the impact of the biexciton dynamics on controlling and improving the optical gain.

Abstract
Coherent interaction between matter and light field induces both optical Stark effect and Bloch-Siegert shift. Observing the latter has been historically challenging, because it is weak and is often accompanied by a much stronger Stark shift. Herein, by controlling the light helicity, we can largely restrict these two effects to different spin-transitions in CsPbI3 perovskite quantum dots, achieving room-temperature Bloch-Siegert shift as strong as 4 meV with near-infrared pulses. The ratio between the Bloch-Siegert and optical Stark shifts is however systematically higher than the prediction by the non-interacting, quasi-particle model. With a model that explicitly accounts for excitonic effects, we quantitatively reproduce the experimental observations. This model depicts a unified physical picture of the optical Stark effect, biexcitonic optical Stark effect and Bloch-Siegert shift in low-dimensional materials displaying strong many-body interactions, forming the basis for the implementation of these effects to information processing, optical modulation and Floquet engineering.

Abstract
Multiquantum-well (MQW) perovskite is one of the forerunners in high-efficiency perovskite LED (PeLEDs) research. Despite the rapid inroads, PeLEDs suffer from the pertinent issue of efficiency decrease with increasing brightness, commonly known as "efficiency roll-off". The underlying mechanisms are presently an open question. Herein, we explicate the E-field effects on the exciton states in the archetypal MQW perovskite (C6H5C2H4NH3)2PbI4, or PEPI, in a device-like architecture using field-assisted transient spectroscopy and theoretical modeling. The applied E-field results in a complex interplay of spectral blueshifts and enhancement/quenching of the different exciton modes. The former originates from the DC Stark shift, while the latter is attributed to the E-field modulation of the transfer rates between bright/dark exciton modes. Importantly, our findings uncover crucial insights into the photophysical processes under E-field modulation contributing to efficiency roll-off in MQW PeLEDs. Electrical modulation of exciton properties presents exciting possibilities for signal processing devices.

Abstract
Defect management strategies are vital for enhancing the performance of perovskite-based optoelectronic devices, such as perovskite-based light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). As additives can fucntion both as acrystallization modifier and/or defect passivator, a thorough study on the roles of additives is essential, especially for blue emissive Pe-LEDs, where the emission is strictly controlled by the n-domain distribution of the Ruddlesden-Popper (RP, L2An-1PbnX3n+1, where L refers to a bulky cation, while A and X are monovalent cation, and halide anion, respectively) perovskite films. Of the various additives that are available, octyl phosphonic acid (OPA) is of immense interest because of its ability to bind with uncoordinated Pb2+ ( notorious for nonradiative recombination) and therefore passivates them. Here, with the help of various spectroscopic techniques, such as X-ray photon-spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) measurements, we demonstrate the capability of OPA to bind and passivate unpaired Pb2+ defect sites. Modification to crystallization promoting higher n-domain formation is also observed from steady-state and transient absorption (TA) measurements. With OPA treatment, both the PLQY and EQE of the corresponding PeLED showed improvements up to 53% and 3.7% at peak emission wavelength of 485 nm, respectively.

Abstract
Monitoring of the spatially resolved exciton spin dynamics in two-dimensional semiconductors has revealed the formation of a spatial pattern and long-range transport of the spin-polarized excitons, which holds promise for exciton-based spin-optoelectronic applications. However, the spatial evolution has been restricted to cryogenic temperatures because of the short exciton spin relaxation times at room temperature. Here, we report that two-dimensional halide perovskites can overcome this limitation owing to their relatively long exciton spin relaxation times and substantial exciton-exciton interactions. We demonstrate the emergence of a halo-like spatial profile in spin-polarized exciton population and its ultrafast expansion at room temperature by performing time-resolved Faraday rotation imaging of spin-polarized excitons in two-dimensional perovskite (C4H9NH3)2(CH3NH3)3Pb4I13. Exciton-exciton exchange interactions induce density-dependent nonlinear relaxation and ultrafast transport of exciton spins and give rise to a rapidly expanding halo-like spatial pattern. The density-dependent spatial control suggests the potential of using two-dimensional halide perovskites for spin-optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Utilizing the spin degree of freedom of photoexcitations in hybrid organic inorganic perovskites for quantum information science applications has been recently proposed and explored. However, it is still unclear whether the stable photoexcitations in these compounds correspond to excitons, free/trapped electron-hole pairs, or charged exciton complexes such as trions. Here we investigate quantum beating oscillations in the picosecond time-resolved circularly polarized photoinduced reflection of single crystal methyl-ammonium tri-iodine perovskite (MAPbI3) measured at cryogenic temperatures. We observe two quantum beating oscillations (fast and slow) whose frequencies increase linearly with B with slopes that depend on the crystal orientation with respect to the applied magnetic field. We assign the quantum beatings to positive and negative trions whose Landé g-factors are determined by those of the electron and hole, respectively, or by the carriers left behind after trion recombination.

Understanding photo-physics giving rise to quantum beating oscillations in hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites aids their applications in spintronics and quantum information science. Here, authors demonstrate that quantum beatings observed in single crystal perovskite at cryogenic temperatures are originating from positive and negative trions.

Abstract
Nowadays, a wide number of applications based on magnetic materials rely on the properties arising at the interface between different layers in complex heterostructures engineered at the nanoscale. In ferromagnetic/heavy metal multilayers, such as the [Co/Pt]N and [Co/Pd]N systems, the magnetic proximity effect was demonstrated to be asymmetric, thus inducing a magnetic moment on the Pt (Pd) layer that is typically higher at the top Co/Pt(Pd) interface. In this work, advanced spectroscopic and imaging techniques were combined with theoretical approaches to clarify the origin of this asymmetry both in Co/Pt trilayers and, for the first time, in multilayer systems that are more relevant for practical applications. The different magnetic moment induced at the Co/Pt interfaces was correlated to the microstructural features that are in turn affected by the growth processes that induce a different intermixing during the film deposition, thus influencing the interface magnetic profile.

Abstract
Spin-polarized charge endows conventional lasers with not only new functionalities but also reduced lasing thresholds thanks to the lifting of spin degeneracy. II-VI and III-V semiconductors have been extensively investigated as spin laser gain mediums; however, the degree of polarization is limited by the light hole and heavy hole degeneracy. Herein, we evaluate the potential of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals─ones that are featured with low band-edge degeneracy and therefore a high degree of polarization as a result of inverted band structure and large spin-orbit coupling─as a gain medium for spin lasers. Our experiment and numerical modeling results reveal that, within the spin relaxation lifetime, the optical gain threshold can be depressed by polarizing the charge using circularly polarized photoexcitation. However, prolonging the spin relaxation lifetime is required to realize a spin laser.

Abstract
Nonresonant optical driving of confined semiconductors can open up exciting opportunities for experimentally realizing strongly interacting photon-dressed (Floquet) states through the optical Stark effect (OSE) for coherent modulation of the exciton state. Here we report the first room-temperature observation of the Floquet biexciton-mediated anomalous coherent excitonic OSE in CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs). Remarkably, the strong exciton-biexciton interaction leads to a coherent red shift and splitting of the exciton resonance as a function of the drive photon frequency, similar to Autler-Townes splitting in atomic and molecular systems. The large biexciton binding energy of ∼71 meV and exciton-biexciton transition dipole moment of ∼25 D facilitate the hallmark observations, even at large detuning energies of >300 meV. This is accompanied by an unusual crossover from linear to nonlinear fluence dependence of the OSE as a function of the drive photon frequency. Our findings reveal crucial information on the unexplored many-body coherent interacting regime, making perovskite QDs suitable for room temperature quantum devices.

Abstract
Metal-halide perovskite semiconductors have attracted attention for opto-spintronic applications where the manipulation of charge and spin degrees of freedom have the potential to lower power consumption and achieve faster switching times for electronic devices. Lower-dimensional perovskites are of particular interest since the lower degree of symmetry of the metal-halide connected octahedra and the large spin-orbit coupling can potentially lift the spin degeneracy. To achieve their full application potential, long spin-polarized lifetimes and an understanding of spin-relaxation in these systems are needed. Here, we report an intriguing spin-selective excitation of excitons in a series of 2D lead iodide perovskite (n = 1) single crystals by using time- and polarization-resolved transient reflection spectroscopy. Exciton spin relaxation times as long as ∼26 ps at low excitation densities and at room temperature were achieved for a system with small binding energy, 2D EOA2PbI4 (EOA = ethanolamine). By tuning the excitation density and the exciton binding energy, we identify the dominant mechanism as the D'yakonov-Perel (DP) mechanism at low exciton densities and the Bir-Aronov-Pikus (BAP) mechanism at high excitation densities. Together, these results provide new design principles to achieve long spin lifetimes in metal-halide perovskite semiconductors.

Abstract
Layered hybrid perovskites based on Dion-Jacobson phases are of interest to various optoelectronic applications. However, the understanding of their structure-property relationships remains limited. Here, we present a systematic study of Dion-Jacobson perovskites based on (S)PbX4 (n = 1) compositions incorporating phenylene-derived aromatic spacers (S) with different anchoring alkylammonium groups and halides (X = I, Br). We focus our study on 1,4-phenylenediammonium (PDA), 1,4-phenylenedimethylammonium (PDMA), and 1,4-phenylenediethylammonium (PDEA) spacers. Systems based on PDA did not form a well-defined layered structure, showing the formation of a 1D structure instead, whereas the extension of the alkyl chains to PDMA and PDEA rendered them compatible with the formation of a layered structure, as shown by X-ray diffraction and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the control of the spacer length affects optical properties and environmental stability, which is enhanced for longer alkyl chains and bromide compositions. This provides insights into their design for optoelectronic applications.

Manipulation of hot carrier cooling dynamics in two-dimensional Dion-Jacobson hybrid perovskites via Rashba band splitting. Nat Commun 2021; 12:3995. [PMID: 34183646 PMCID: PMC8239041 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-24258-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Hot-carrier cooling processes of perovskite materials are typically described by a single parabolic band model that includes the effects of carrier-phonon scattering, hot phonon bottleneck, and Auger heating. However, little is known (if anything) about the cooling processes in which the spin-degenerate parabolic band splits into two spin-polarized bands, i.e., the Rashba band splitting effect. Here, we investigated the hot-carrier cooling processes for two slightly different compositions of two-dimensional Dion–Jacobson hybrid perovskites, namely, (3AMP)PbI4 and (4AMP)PbI4 (3AMP = 3-(aminomethyl)piperidinium; 4AMP = 4-(aminomethyl)piperidinium), using a combination of ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy and first-principles calculations. In (4AMP)PbI4, upon Rashba band splitting, the spin-dependent scattering of hot electrons is responsible for accelerating hot-carrier cooling at longer delays. Importantly, the hot-carrier cooling of (4AMP)PbI4 can be extended by manipulating the spin state of the hot carriers. Our findings suggest a new approach for prolonging hot-carrier cooling in hybrid perovskites, which is conducive to further improving the performance of hot-carrier-based optoelectronic and spintronic devices. Hybrid perovskite is a promising class of material for optoelectronic applications due to the slow hot-carrier cooling, yet the process is not well-understood in material with Rashba band splitting. Here, the authors reveal spin-flipping and spin-dependent scattering of hot electrons are responsible for accelerating the cooling at longer delays.

Abstract
2D materials are considered for applications that require strong light-matter interaction because of the apparently giant oscillator strength of the exciton transitions in the absorbance spectrum. Nevertheless, the effective oscillator strengths of these transitions have been scarcely reported, nor is there a consistent interpretation of the obtained values. Here, we analyse the transition dipole moment and the ensuing oscillator strength of the exciton transition in 2D CdSe nanoplatelets by means of the optically induced Stark effect (OSE). Intriguingly, we find that the exciton absorption line reacts to a high intensity optical field as a transition with an oscillator strength FStark that is 50 times smaller than expected based on the linear absorption coefficient. We propose that the pronounced exciton absorption line should be seen as the sum of multiple, low oscillator strength transitions, rather than a single high oscillator strength one, a feat we assign to strong exciton center-of-mass localization. Within the quantum mechanical description of excitons, this 50-fold difference between both oscillator strengths corresponds to the ratio between the coherence area of the exciton's center of mass and the total area, which yields a coherence area of a mere 6.1 nm2. Since we find that the coherence area increases with reducing temperature, we conclude that thermal effects, related to lattice vibrations, contribute to exciton localization. In further support of this localization model, we show that FStark is independent of the nanoplatelet area, correctly predicts the radiative lifetime, and lines up for strongly confined quantum dot systems.

Abstract
Manipulation of excitons via coherent light-matter interaction is a promising approach for quantum state engineering and ultrafast optical modulation. Various excitation pathways in the excitonic multilevel systems provide controllability more efficient than that in the two-level system. However, these control schemes have been restricted to limited control-light wavelengths and cryogenic temperatures. Here, we report that lead halide perovskites can lift these restrictions owing to their multiband structure induced by strong spin-orbit coupling. Using CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals, we observe an anomalous enhancement of the exciton energy shift at room temperature with increasing control-light wavelength from the visible to near-infrared region. The enhancement occurs because the interconduction band transitions between spin-orbit split states have large dipole moments and induce a crossover from the two-level optical Stark effect to the three-level Autler-Townes effect. Our finding establishes a basis for efficient coherent optical manipulation of excitons utilizing energy states with large spin-orbit splitting. Here, Yumoto et al. demonstrate that for a halide perovskite with large spin-orbit splitting the optical Stark effect can give way to a three level Autler-Townes effect in the near-infrared region. The multiband nature of the effect potentially allows for further optical control over quantum states.

Abstract
Fe2+ doping in II-VI semiconductors, due to the absence of energetically accessible multiple spin state configurations, has not given rise to interesting spintronic applications. In this work, we demonstrate for the first time that the interaction of homogeneously doped Fe2+ ions with the host CdS nanocrystal with no clustering is different for the two spin states and produces two magnetically inequivalent excitonic states upon optical perturbation. We combine ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy and density functional theoretical analysis within the ground and excited states to demonstrate the presence of the magneto-optical Stark effect (MOSE). The energy gap between the spin states arising due to MOSE does not decay within the time frame of observation, unlike optical and electrical Stark shifts. This demonstration provides a stepping-stone for spin-dependent applications.

Abstract
The control of the optoelectronic properties of 2D organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (2D-OIHP) lead halides is an increasingly prevalent topic. Herein, the observation of the circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) in new enantiomorphic 2D-OIHP lead iodides is reported, which are synthesized as a first OIHP-related system belonging to a chiral space group by incorporating organic chiral cations into the inorganic layers of lead iodides. The CPGE is an optoelectronic phenomenon associated with the spin-orbit coupling of heavy atoms in noncentrosymmetric systems. Owing to the CPGE, light-helicity-dependent steady photocurrents are generated without an external bias voltage under the irradiation of circularly polarized light. Furthermore, the sign reversal of the CPGE photocurrent depending on the chirality of the designed 2D-OIHP lead iodides is observed. This result indicates formation of the theoretically predicted radial spin-polarized texture in k-space of chiral systems owing to spin-momentum locking. Hence, chiral 2D-OIHP lead halides can be a promising platform for engineering opto-spintronic functionalities.

Abstract
This work demonstrates the strong excitonic magneto-optic (MO) effects of magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and Faraday rotation (FR) in nonmagnetic two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic hybrid Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites (RPPs) at room temperature. Due to their strong and sharp excitonic absorption as a result of unique quantum well structures of 2D RPPs, sizeable linear excitonic MO effects of MCD and FR can be observed at room temperature under a low magnetic field (<1 T) compared with their three-dimensional counterpart. In addition, since the band gaps of 2D organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites can be manipulated either by changing the number n of inorganic octahedral slabs per unit cell or through halide engineering, linear excitonic MO effects of 2D-RPPs can be observed through the broadband spectral ranges of visible light. Our result may pave the way for the promising research field of MO and magneto-optoelectronic applications based on 2D organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites with facile solution processes.

Abstract
Excitonic effects underpin the fascinating optoelectronic properties of 2D perovskites that are highly favorable for photovoltaics and light-emitting devices. Analogous to switching in transistors, manipulating these excitonic properties in 2D perovskites using coherent phonons could unlock new applications. Presently, a detailed understanding of this underlying mechanism remains modest. Herein, the origins of the carrier-phonon coupling in 2D perovskites using transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy are explicated. The exciton fine structure is modulated by coherent optical phonons dominated by the vibrational motion of the PbI6 octahedra via deformation potential. Originating from impulsive stimulated Raman scattering, these coherent vibrations manifest as oscillations in the TA spectrum comprising of the generation and detection processes of coherent phonons. This two-step process leads to a unique pump- and probe-energy dependence of the phonon modulation determined by the imaginary part of the refractive index and its derivative, respectively. The phonon frequency and lattice displacement of the inorganic octahedra are highly dependent on the organic cation. This study injects fresh insights into the exciton-phonon coupling of 2D perovskites relevant for emergent optoelectronics development.

Abstract
2D organic-inorganic hybrid Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites (RPPs) have recently attracted increasing attention due to their excellent environmental stability, high degree of electronic tunability, and natural multiquantum-well structures. Although there is a rapid development of photoelectronic applications in solar cells, photodetectors, light emitting diodes (LEDs), and lasers based on 2D RPPs, the state-of-the-art performance is far inferior to that of the existing devices because of the limited understanding on fundamental physics, especially special photophysics in carrier dynamics, excitonic fine structures, excitonic quasiparticles, and spin-related effect. Thus, there is still plenty of room to improve the performances of photoelectronic devices based on 2D RPPs by enhancing knowledge on fundamental photophysics. This review highlights the special photophysics of 2D RPPs that is fundamentally different from the conventional 3D congeners. It also provides the most recent progress, debates, challenges, prospects, and in-depth understanding of photophysics in 2D perovskites, which is significant for not only boosting performance of solar cells, LEDs, photodetectors, but also future development of applications in lasers, spintronics, quantum information, and integrated photonic chips.

Abstract
Two-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (2D-HOIPs) that form natural multiple quantum wells have attracted increased research interest due to their interesting physics and potential applications in optoelectronic devices. Recent studies have shown that spintronics applications can also be introduced to 2D-HOIPs upon integrating chiral organic ligands into the organic layers. Here we report spin-dependent photovoltaic and photogalvanic responses of optoelectronic devices based on chiral 2D-HOIPs, namely, (R-MBA)2PbI4 and (S-MBA)2PbI4. The out-of-plane photocurrent response in vertical photovoltaic devices exhibits ∼10% difference upon right and left circularly polarized light (CPL) excitation, which originates from selective spin transport through the chiral multilayers. In contrast, the in-plane photocurrent response generated by CPL excitation of planar photoconductive devices shows a typical response of chirality-induced circular photogalvanic effect that originates from the Rashba splitting in the electronic bands of these compounds. Our studies may lead to potential applications of chiral 2D-HOIPs in optoelectronic devices that are sensitive to the light helicity.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) lead halide Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites (RPP) have recently emerged as a prospective material system for optoelectronic applications. Their self-assembled multi quantum-well structure gives rise to the novel interwell energy funnelling phenomenon, which is of broad interests for photovoltaics, light-emission applications, and emerging technologies (e.g., spintronics). Herein, we develop a realistic finite quantum-well superlattice model that corroborates the hypothesis of exciton delocalization across different quantum-wells in RPP. Such delocalization leads to a sub-50 fs coherent energy transfer between adjacent wells, with the efficiency depending on the RPP phase matching and the organic large cation barrier lengths. Our approach provides a coherent and comprehensive account for both steady-state and transient dynamical experimental results in RPPs. Importantly, these findings pave the way for a deeper understanding of these systems, as a cornerstone crucial for establishing material design rules to realize efficient RPP-based devices.

Abstract
Coherent manipulation of light-matter interactions is pivotal to the advancement of nanophotonics. Conventionally, the non-resonant optical Stark effect is harnessed for band engineering by intense laser pumping. However, this method is hindered by the transient Stark shifts and the high-energy laser pumping which, by itself, is precluded as a nanoscale optical source due to light diffraction. As an analog of photons in a laser, surface plasmons are uniquely positioned to coherently interact with matter through near-field coupling, thereby, providing a potential source of electric fields. Herein, the first demonstration of plasmonic Stark effect is reported and attributed to a newly uncovered energy-bending mechanism. As a complementary approach to the optical Stark effect, it is envisioned that the plasmonic Stark effect will advance fundamental understanding of coherent light-matter interactions and will also provide new opportunities for advanced optoelectronic tools, such as ultrafast all-optical switches and biological nanoprobes at lower light power levels.

Abstract
Two- and three-dimensional lead-halide perovskite (LHP) materials are novel semiconductors that have generated broad interest owing to their outstanding optical and electronic properties. Characterization and understanding of their atomic structure and structure-property relationships are often nontrivial as a result of the vast structural and compositional tunability of LHPs as well as the enhanced structure dynamics as compared with oxide perovskites or more conventional semiconductors. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy contributes to this thrust through its unique capability of sampling chemical bonding element-specifically (1/2H, 13C, 14/15N, 35/37Cl, 39K, 79/81Br, 87Rb, 127I, 133Cs, and 207Pb nuclei) and locally and shedding light onto the connectivity, geometry, topology, and dynamics of bonding. NMR can therefore readily observe phase transitions, evaluate phase purity and compositional and structural disorder, and probe molecular dynamics and ionic motion in diverse forms of LHPs, in which they can be used practically, ranging from bulk single crystals (e.g., in gamma and X-ray detectors) to polycrystalline films (e.g., in photovoltaics, photodetectors, and light-emitting diodes) and colloidal nanocrystals (e.g., in liquid crystal displays and future quantum light sources). Herein we also outline the immense practical potential of nuclear quadrupolar resonance (NQR) spectroscopy for characterizing LHPs, owing to the strong quadrupole moments, good sensitivity, and high natural abundance of several halide nuclei (79/81Br and 127I) combined with the enhanced electric field gradients around these nuclei existing in LHPs as well as the instrumental simplicity. Strong quadrupole interactions, on one side, make 79/81Br and 127I NMR rather impractical but turn NQR into a high-resolution probe of the local structure around halide ions.

Abstract
Colloidal quantum wells, or nanoplatelets, exhibit large, circularly polarized optical Stark effects under sub-band-gap femtosecond illumination. The optical Stark effect is measured for CdSe colloidal quantum wells of several thicknesses and separately as a measure of pump photon energy, pump fluence, and temperature. These measurements show that optical Stark effects in colloidal quantum wells shift the absorption features up to 5 meV, at the intensities up to 2.9 GW·cm-2 and large detuning (>400 meV) of the pump photon energy from the band edge absorption. Optical Stark shifts are underpinned by large transition dipoles of the colloidal quantum wells (μ = 15-23 D), which are larger than those of any reported colloidal quantum dots or epitaxial quantum wells. The rapid (<500 fs), narrow band blue shift of the excitonic features under circular excitation indicates the viability of these materials beyond light emission such as spintronics or all-optical switching.

Abstract
Using circularly polarized broadband transient absorption, time-resolved circular photoluminescence, and transient Faraday rotation spectroscopy, we report that spin-dependent interactions have a significant impact on exciton energies and spin depolarization times in layered Ruddlesden-Popper hybrid metal-halide perovskites. In BA2FAPb2I7, we report that room-temperature spin lifetimes are largest (3.2 ps) at a carrier density of ∼1017 cm-3 with increasing depolarization rates at higher exciton densities. This indicates that many-body interactions reduce spin-lifetimes and outcompete the effect of D'yakonov-Perel precessional relaxation that has been previously reported at lower carrier densities. We further observe a dynamic circular dichroism that arises from a photoinduced polarization in the exciton distribution between total angular momentum states. Our findings provide fundamental and application relevant insights into the spin-dependent exciton-exciton interactions in layered hybrid perovskites.

Abstract
This paper reports an extremely long spin relaxation time of optically polarized light-emitting states at room temperature in quasi-2D perovskites [(PEA)2(MA)4Pb5Br16 with n = 5], when the long-range orbit-orbit interaction between excited states is developed through orbital polarization. Our studies found that the quasi-2D perovskite [(PEA)2(MA)4Pb5Br16 with n = 5] demonstrates a long-range orbit-orbit interaction between excited states to conserve the spins of optically polarized light-emitting states, identified by the positive change on photoluminescence intensity (+ΔPL) in steady state upon switching the photoexcitation from linear to circular polarization. Meanwhile, the PL circular polarization (σ+σ+ - σ+σ-) can maintain in nanosecond under fixed photoexcitation (σ+). In contrast, the 2D/3D mixed perovskite (n > 5) shows a short-range orbit-orbit interaction between excited states through orbital magnetic dipoles, identified by the -ΔPL by switching from linear to circular photoexcitation. At the same time, the spin lifetime of light-emitting states becomes undetectable.

Abstract
The strong spin-orbital coupling and intense optical transition in lead halide perovskites enable facile optical injection and manipulation of spin states potentially useful for spintronics, one manifestation of which is the optical Stark effect (OSE). A strong OSE would benefit from discrete energy levels and a strong band edge transition with concentrated oscillator strength, which can be realized in three-dimensionally confined quantum dots (QDs). This idea, however, has not been explored yet for perovskite materials. Here we report the observation of strong OSE in perovskite colloidal QDs using circularly polarized transient absorption spectroscopy. The large OSE shifts correspond to transition dipoles as large as 52 D, which compares favorably to those recently reported for higher-dimensional perovskites as well as transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers. Colloidal synthesis also allows for facile tuning of the OSE spectral ranges of perovskite QDs via sizes and compositions, and the impact of these parameters on the OSE is examined, providing fundamental insights into the band edge transition of lead halide perovskites.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskites have been promising candidates in spintronics applications; however, the mechanism of spin relaxation is still unclear. Here, we compare the temperature-dependent spin dynamics of four perovskite films (XPbY3) with different compositions (X = CH3NH3, Cs; Y = I, Br). The room-temperature net spin lifetime is found to increase as the molar mass decreases, indicating the dominant role of spin orbital coupling in their spin relaxation. As the temperature is reduced from room temperature to 77 K, the spin relaxations in CH3NH3PbI3 and CsPbI3 are significantly slowed down while those of CH3NH3PbBr3 and CsPbBr3 are only slightly changed. Based on the analysis of phonon scattering of perovskites, it is suggested that two different mechanisms, Elliot-Yafet in which spin flips upon momentum scattering and D'yakonov-Perel in which spin relaxes between momentum scattering, are responsible for the spin relaxation in XPbI3 and XPbBr3 (X = CH3NH3, Cs), respectively.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskite quantum wells (PQWs) are quantum and dielectrically confined materials exhibiting strongly bound excitons. The exciton transition dipole moment dictates absorption strength and influences interwell coupling in dipole-mediated energy transfer, a process that influences the performance of PQW optoelectronic devices. Here we use transient reflectance spectroscopy with circularly polarized laser pulses to investigate the optical Stark effect in dimensionally pure single crystals of n = 1, 2, and 3 Ruddlesden-Popper PQWs. From these measurements, we extract in-plane transition dipole moments of 11.1 (±0.4), 9.6 (±0.6) and 13.0 (±0.8) D for n = 1, 2 and 3, respectively. We corroborate our experimental results with density functional and many-body perturbation theory calculations, finding that the nature of band edge orbitals and exciton wave function delocalization depends on the PQW "odd-even" symmetry. This accounts for the nonmonotonic relationship between transition dipole moment and PQW dimensionality in the n = 1-3 range.

Abstract
Improving the optoelectronic characteristics of organic-inorganic perovskites is crucial for fabrication of functional devices. Herein, we demonstrate that the optoelectronic properties of 2D organic-inorganic perovskites can be greatly improved by UV-light illumination during growth. The photoluminescence emission of the 2D perovskite exhibits a 3.1-folds increase in intensity, with a decreased trap-assisted recombination. The improved optoelectronic characteristics can be attributed to the high-quality crystallization and lattice expansion induced by the UV-light illumination. Moreover, the optimized 2D perovskites enable the fabrication of photoconductive devices with improved optoelectronic responses. This work indicates that light illumination is a novel and convenient approach for engineering the fabrication of 2D organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites, which advocates great promise for achieving high-performance functional devices.

Abstract
Coherent light-matter interaction can transiently modulate the quantum states of matter under nonresonant laser excitation. This phenomenon, called the optical Stark effect, is one of the promising candidates for realizing ultrafast optical switches. However, the ultrafast modulations induced by the coherent light-matter interactions usually involve unwanted incoherent responses, significantly reducing the overall operation speed. Here, by using ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy, we suppress the incoherent response and modulate the coherent-to-incoherent ratio in the two-dimensional semiconductor ReS2. We selectively convert the coherent and incoherent responses of an anisotropic exciton state by solely using photon polarizations, improving the control ratio by 3 orders of magnitude. The efficient modulation was enabled by transient superpositions of differential spectra from two nondegenerate exciton states due to the light polarization dependencies. This work provides a valuable contribution toward realizing ideal ultrafast optical switches.

Abstract
The hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) form a new class of semiconductors which show promising optoelectronic device applications. Remarkably, the optoelectronic properties of HOIP are tunable by changing the chemical components of their building blocks. Recently, the HOIP spintronic properties and their applications in spintronic devices have attracted substantial interest. Here the impact of the chemical component diversity in HOIPs on their spintronic properties is studied. Spin valve devices based on HOIPs with different organic cations and halogen atoms are fabricated. The spin diffusion length is obtained in the various HOIPs by measuring the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) response in spin valve devices with different perovskite interlayer thicknesses. In addition spin lifetime is also measured from the Hanle response. It is found that the spintronic properties of HOIPs are mainly determined by the halogen atoms, rather than the organic cations. The study provides a clear avenue for engineering spintronic devices based on HOIPs.

Abstract
Room-temperature spin-based electronics is the vision of spintronics. Presently, there are few suitable material systems. Herein, we reveal that solution-processed mixed-phase Ruddlesden-Popper perovskite thin-films transcend the challenges of phonon momentum-scattering that limits spin-transfer in conventional semiconductors. This highly disordered system exhibits a remarkable efficient ultrafast funneling of photoexcited spin-polarized excitons from two-dimensional (2D) to three-dimensional (3D) phases at room temperature. We attribute this efficient exciton relaxation pathway towards the lower energy states to originate from the energy transfer mediated by intermediate states. This process bypasses the omnipresent phonon momentum-scattering in typical semiconductors with stringent band dispersion, which causes the loss of spin information during thermalization. Film engineering using graded 2D/3D perovskites allows unidirectional out-of-plane spin-funneling over a thickness of ~600 nm. Our findings reveal an intriguing family of solution-processed perovskites with extraordinary spin-preserving energy transport properties that could reinvigorate the concepts of spin-information transfer.

Abstract
Polaritonic devices exploit the coherent coupling between excitonic and photonic degrees of freedom to perform highly nonlinear operations with low input powers. Most of the current results exploit excitons in epitaxially grown quantum wells and require low-temperature operation, while viable alternatives have yet to be found at room temperature. We show that large single-crystal flakes of two-dimensional layered perovskite are able to sustain strong polariton nonlinearities at room temperature without the need to be embedded in an optical cavity formed by highly reflecting mirrors. In particular, exciton-exciton interaction energies are shown to be spin dependent, remarkably similar to the ones known for inorganic quantum wells at cryogenic temperatures, and more than one order of magnitude larger than alternative room temperature polariton devices reported so far. Because of their easy fabrication, large dipolar oscillator strengths, and strong nonlinearities, these materials pave the way for realization of polariton devices at room temperature.

Abstract
Solution-processed perovskite quantum wells have been used to fabricate increasingly efficient and stable optoelectronic devices. Little is known about the dynamics of photogenerated excitons in perovskite quantum wells within the first few hundred femtoseconds-a crucial time scale on which energy and charge transfer processes may compete. Here we use ultrafast transient absorption and two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy to clarify the movement of excitons and charges in reduced-dimensional perovskite solids. We report excitonic funneling from strongly to weakly confined perovskite quantum wells within 150 fs, facilitated by strong spectral overlap and orientational alignment among neighboring wells. This energy transfer happens on time scales orders of magnitude faster than charge transfer, which we find to occur instead over 10s to 100s of picoseconds. Simulations of both Förster-type interwell exciton transfer and free carrier charge transfer are in agreement with these experimental findings, with theoretical exciton transfer calculated to occur in 100s of femtoseconds.

Abstract
Hybrid halide perovskites are now superstar materials leading the field of low-cost thin film photovoltaics technologies. Following the surge for more efficient and stable 3D bulk alloys, multilayered halide perovskites and colloidal perovskite nanostructures appeared in 2016 as viable alternative solutions to this challenge, largely exceeding the original proof of concept made in 2009 and 2014, respectively. This triggered renewed interest in lower-dimensional hybrid halide perovskites and at the same time increasingly more numerous and differentiated applications. The present paper is a review of the past and present literature on both colloidal nanostructures and multilayered compounds, emphasizing that availability of accurate structural information is of dramatic importance to reach a fair understanding of quantum and dielectric confinement effects. Layered halide perovskites occupy a special place in the history of halide perovskites, with a large number of seminal papers in the 1980s and 1990s. In recent years, the rationalization of structure-properties relationship has greatly benefited from new theoretical approaches dedicated to their electronic structures and optoelectronic properties, as well as a growing number of contributions based on modern experimental techniques. This is a necessary step to provide in-depth tools to decipher their extensive chemical engineering possibilities which surpass the ones of their 3D bulk counterparts. Comparisons to classical semiconductor nanostructures and 2D van der Waals heterostructures are also stressed. Since 2015, colloidal nanostructures have undergone a quick development for applications based on light emission. Although intensively studied in the last two years by various spectroscopy techniques, the description of quantum and dielectric confinement effects on their optoelectronic properties is still in its infancy.

Abstract
Spin is an intrinsic quantum mechanical property of fundamental particles including the electron. The spin property is intimately related to electronic and optical properties of molecules and materials. The combination of spin (magnetic), electronic, and optical properties of materials, such as organometal halide perovskites (OMHP), has attracted increasing attention, which has led to a new field termed spin-optotronics based on all three key properties. This growing field has implications in emerging technological applications across disciplines, including photonics, electronics, spintronics, quantum computation, and information storage. This Perspective provides a brief introduction to this field from both experimental and computational aspects, with a focus on the effect of spin on charge carrier dynamics in OMHP, a class of materials with novel properties and promising applications in a number of fields. For instance, recent studies have demonstrated the use of ultrafast laser techniques in probing the fundamental charge carrier dynamics in relation to spin properties. Because of strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and broken inversion symmetry that result in Rashba and Dresselhaus effects, OMHP are considered ideal for manipulating spin states for spin-optotronics applications. In the meantime, on the basis of first-principles calculations and effective model Hamiltonians, the Rashba splitting in locally polarized domains can result in spin-forbidden recombination with significantly slow transition rate due to the mismatch of spin and momentum. We summarize the state-of-the-art first-principles methods and their current limitations for ultrafast charge and spin dynamics for realistic solid-state systems in general. To conclude, we note some promising future research and development directions for both experimental and theoretical ultrafast spin dynamics studies of OMHP.

Abstract
Layered 2D halide perovskites with their alternating organic and inorganic atomic layers that form a self-assembled quantum well system are analogues of the purely inorganic 2D transition metal dichalcogenides. Within their periodic structures lie a hotbed of photophysical phenomena such as dielectric confinement effect, optical Stark effect, strong exciton-photon coupling, etc. Detailed understanding into the strong light-matter interactions in these hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductor systems remains modest. Herein, the intricate coherent interplay of exciton, spin, and phonon dynamics in (C6H5C2H4NH3)2PbI4 thin films using transient optical spectroscopy is explicated. New insights into the hotly debated origins of transient spectral features, relaxation pathways, ultrafast spin relaxation via exchange interaction, and strong coherent exciton-phonon coupling are revealed from the detailed phenomenological modeling. Importantly, this work unravels the complex interplay of spin-quasiparticle interactions in these layered 2D halide perovskites with large spin-orbit coupling.
