Persistent enhancement of exciton diffusivity in CsPbBr3 nanocrystal solids

Seryio Saris

In semiconductors, exciton or charge carrier diffusivity is typically described as an inherent material property. Here, we show that the transport of excitons among CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) depends markedly on how recently those NCs were occup ...
