Cesium lead halide perovskites are of interest for light‐emitting diodes and lasers. So far, thin‐films of CsPbX3 have typically afforded very low photoluminescence quantum yields (PL‐QY < 20%) and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) only at cryogenic temperatures, as defect related nonradiative recombination dominated at room temperature (RT). There is a current belief that, for efficient light emission from lead halide perovskites at RT, the charge carriers/excitons need to be confined on the nanometer scale, like in CsPbX3 nanoparticles (NPs). Here, thin films of cesium lead bromide, which show a high PL‐QY of 68% and low‐threshold ASE at RT, are presented. As‐deposited layers are recrystallized by thermal imprint, which results in continuous films (100% coverage of the substrate), composed of large crystals with micrometer lateral extension. Using these layers, the first cesium lead bromide thin‐film distributed feedback and vertical cavity surface emitting lasers with ultralow threshold at RT that do not rely on the use of NPs are demonstrated. It is foreseen that these results will have a broader impact beyond perovskite lasers and will advise a revision of the paradigm that efficient light emission from CsPbX3 perovskites can only be achieved with NPs.
Shifts in the threshold voltage of transparent zinc tin oxide (ZTO) transistors under gate bias stress are studied. The effect of composition and processing temperature on the device stability has been investigated. Based on the research, highly stable transistors with as small as after of operation have been fabricated with a composition of . As current drivers in active matrix displays their stability renders ZTO thin film transistors (TFTs) a very attractive alternative to TFTs based on established technologies.
The characteristics of transparent zinc tin oxide thin film transistors (TTFTs) upon illumination with visible light are reported. Generally, a reversible decrease of threshold voltage , saturation field effect mobility , and an increase of the off current are found. The time scale of the recovery in the dark is governed by the persistent photoconductivity in the semiconductor. Devices with tuned [Zn]:[Sn] ratio show a shift of of less upon illumination at (brightness ) throughout the visible spectrum. These results demonstrate TTFTs which are candidates as pixel drivers in transparent active-matrix organic light emitting diode displays.
