Opto-thermal transport engineering in hybrid organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites metasurfaces

Halide perovskites have recently gained widespread attention for their exceptional optoelectronic properties which have been illuminated by extensive spectroscopic investigations. In this article, nanophotonic surface-engineering using soft-lithography has been used to reproduce nanostructures with enhanced functionalities. A non-invasive optical technique based on Raman and photolumines-cence (PL) spectroscopy is employed to investigate the interactive effect of the thermal and optical behaviour in surface-patterned hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskite thin films. The thermophys-ical properties of the engineered perovskite films are extracted from the softening of the representa-tive peak positions in the Raman and PL spectra of the samples which act as temperature markers. The investigation suggests a comparatively higher rise in the local temperature for the patterned thin films resulting from their enhanced absorption. Therefore, a cross-talk between the opto-thermal transport phenomena in imprinted perovskite thin films pertaining to both enhancing device properties along with maintaining device stability is established.
