Single-crystalline perovskite platelets for electro-optical modulators

Our group is focusing on controlling the perovskite growth on different substrates by using low temperature methods. Recently Wenxin Mao uses low temperature solution based method to synthesize a one dimensional (MA)[PbBr₃]·DMF, and demonstrates its facile transformation into monocrystalline MAPbBr₃ microplatelets. The MAPbBr₃ microplatelets were tailored into waveguide based photonic devices, of which an ultra-low propagation loss of 0.04 dBmm^-1 for a propagation distance of 100 mm was demonstrated.
