Abstract
High-quality inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite CsPb(Br
Cl
)
thin films were successfully achieved through evaporation of the precursors and deposition sequentially by a single-source thermal evaporation system. The different melting points of the precursors were enabled us to evaporate precursors one by one in one trip. The resulting films through its fabrication were smooth and pinhole-free. Furthermore, this technique enabled complete surface coverage by high-quality perovskite crystallization and more moisture stability oppositely of that produce by solution-processed. Then the perovskite films were encapsulated by evaporated a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) polymer as a specialized surface passivation approach with various thicknesses. The blue emission, high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), stable, and low threshold of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) properties of CsPb(Br
Cl
)
films in the bulk structure at room temperature were achieved. The effects of the surface-passivation layer and its thickness on the optical response were examined. Detailed analysis of the dependence of ASE properties on the surface passivation layer thickness was performed, and it was determined this achieves performance optimization. The ASE characteristics of bare perovskite thin film were influenced by the incorporation of the PMMA with various thicknesses. The improvement to the surface layer of perovskite thin films compared to that of the bare perovskite thin film was attributed to the combination of thermal evaporation deposition and surface encapsulation. The best results were achieved when using a low PMMA thickness up to 100 nm and reducing the ASE threshold by ~11 μJ/cm
when compared with free-encapsulation and by ~13 μJ/cm
when encapsulation occurs at 200 nm or thicker. Compared to the bare CsPb(Br
Cl
)
, ASE reduced 1.1 times when the PMMA thickness was 100 nm.
