Conclusion
Take home messages : Perovskites are a new class of semiconductors with a specific electronic topology
Solid-state physics concepts may be applied, but unusual optoelectronic properties due to
• The exceptional softness of the lattice (acoustic phonons) • The strong anharmonicity and ionicity of the lattice (optical phonons) • The strong polarisability of the lattice leading eventually to spinor splitting
Layered perovskites are unusual quantum well superlattices
• Quantum confinement aspects are specific (breakdown of the envelope concept) • Dielectric confinement are dominant (deviation from exciton Rydberg series)
Quantum dots are affected by all the above phenomena and especially with:
• Long range exchange interaction: shape anisotropy and bright/dark exciton splitting
