Ultrafast electron shuttling suppresses the energy transfer process in Mn-doped CsPbCl3 nanocrystals

Abstract

Taking advantage of the slow exciton-to-dopant energy transfer process, we dissociated the exciton in Mn-doped perovskite via ultrafast electron shuttling to a surface adsorbed 4-nitro phenol molecule. The observed ultrafast electron transfer process is competitive to the ultrafast exciton scattering process (∼140 fs) to the continuum states via optical phonons, but three-orders faster than the exciton-to-Mn energy transfer timescale.
