Abstract
Spin relaxation of charge carriers in strongly quantum confined perovskite magic-sized clusters has been probed, for the first time, by using polarization-controlled femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) spectroscopy. Fs-TA measurements with a circularly polarized pump and probe allowed for the determination of the exciton spin relaxation lifetime (∼1.5 ps) at room temperature based on the dynamics of a photoinduced absorption (PIA) feature peaked at 458 nm. This spin lifetime is shorter than that of perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) with a larger size, and the results suggest that exciton confinement and defects likely play a more important role in these strongly quantum confined magic-sized clusters with a larger surface-to-volume ratio.
