High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide We report on the optical properties of a CsPbBr 3 polycrystalline thin film on a single grain level. A sample composed of isolated nanocrystals (NCs) mimicking the properties of the polycrystalline thin film grains that can be individually probed by photoluminescence spectroscopy was prepared. These NCs were analyzed using correlative microscopy allowing the examination of structural, chemical, and optical properties from identical sites. Our results show that the stoichiometry of the CsPbBr 3 NCs is uniform and independent of the NCs’ morphology. The photoluminescence (PL) peak emission wavelength is slightly dependent on the dimensions of NCs, with a blue shift up to 9 nm for the smallest analyzed NCs. The magnitude of the blueshift is smaller than the emission line width, thus detectable only by high-resolution PL mapping. By comparing the emission energies obtained from the experiment and a rigorous effective mass model, we can fully attribute the observed variations to the size-dependent quantum confinement effect.
