Abstract
Cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals are promising emissive materials for a variety of optoelectronic applications. To fully realize the potential of these materials, we must understand the energetics and dynamics of multiexciton states which are populated under device relevant excitation conditions. We utilized time-resolved and spectrally-resolved photoluminescence studies to investigate the biexciton binding energy as well as a red-shifted emission feature previously reported under high-flux excitation conditions. We determine that this red-shifted emission feature can be ascribed to sample sintering induced by air-exposure and high-flux irradiation. Furthermore, we determine that the biexciton binding energy at room temperature is at most ±20 meV, providing a key insight toward understanding many-body interactions in the lead halide perovskite lattice.
