Exciton-Polaritons in CsPbBr3 Crystals Revealed by Optical Reflectivity in High Magnetic Fields and Two-Photon Spectroscopy

Cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) is a representative material of the emerging class of lead halide perovskite semiconductors that possess remarkable optoelectronic properties. Its optical properties in the vicinity of the bandgap energy are greatly contributed by excitons, which form exciton polaritons due to strong light-matter interactions. Exciton-polaritons in solution-grown CsPbBr3 crystals are examined by means of circularly polarized reflection spectroscopy measured in high magnetic fields up to 60 T. The excited 2P exciton state is measured by two-photon absorption. Comprehensive modeling and analysis provides detailed quantitative information about the exciton-polariton parameters: exciton binding energy of 32.5 meV, oscillator strength characterized by longitudinal-transverse splitting of 5.3 meV, damping of 6.7 meV, reduced exciton mass of 0.18m(0), exciton diamagnetic shift of 1.6 mu eV T-2, and exciton Land & eacute; factor g(x)= +2.35. It is shown that the exciton states can be described within a hydrogen-like model with an effective dielectric constant of 8.7. From the measured exciton longitudinal-transverse splitting, Kane energy of E-p = 15 eV is evaluated, which is in reasonable agreement with values of 11.8-12.5 eV derived from the carrier effective masses.
