Abstract
The recently re-discovered class of organometal-halide perovskites hold great promise for solar cells, LEDs and lasers.[1] Today, their potential has not been fully unlocked partially because of the lack of suitable nano-patterning techniques, which are mandatory to create resonator structures, waveguides etc. with a maximum level of precision directly into perovskite layers. Their chemical and thermal instability prevents the use of established wet-chemical patterning techniques.[2] In contrast to conventional inorganic semiconductors, crystal binding in these perovskites includes significant contributions of van der Waals interactions among the halide atoms and Hydrogen bonding.[3] The formation enthalpy per unit cell is only about 0.1eV in MAPbI3.[4] Here, we take advantage of the “soft-matter properties” of organo-metal halide perovskites and demonstrate that photonic nano-structures can be prepared by direct thermal nano-imprint lithography in MAPbI3 and MAPbBr3 at relatively low temperatures (<150°C). The resulting periodic patterns provide distributed feedback resonators, which afford lasing in MAPbI3 with ultra-low threshold levels on the order of 1 μJ/cm2.[5] Moreover, our results also state the first DFB lasers based on MAPbBr3. We will discuss the applicability of thermal imprinting for perovskite solar cells and LEDs. [1] B. R. Sutherland et al. Nat Photon 2016, 10, 295. [2] D.
