Electronic transport in quantum-dot-in-perovskite solids

Abstract

We investigate theoretically the band transport of electrons and holes in a “quantum-dot-in-perovskite” solid, a periodic array of semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots embedded in a matrix of lead halide perovskite. For concreteness we focus on PbS quantum dots passivated by inorganic halogen ligands and embedded in a matrix of CsPbI3. We find that the halogen ligands play a decisive role in determining the band offset between the dot and matrix and may therefore provide a straightforward way to control transport experimentally. The model and analysis developed here may readily be generalized to analyze band transport in a broader class of dot-in-solid materials.
