Bright and fast scintillation of organolead perovskite MAPbBr3 at low temperatures

Abstract

We report the excellent scintillation properties of MAPbBr3, an organic–inorganic trihalide perovskite (OTP). The characteristic scintillation time constants were determined using pulsed monochromatic 14 keV X-rays from a synchrotron. We find that between 50 and 130 K the MAPbBr3 crystal exhibits a very fast and intense scintillation response, with the fast (τf) and slow (τs) decay components reaching 0.1 and 1 ns, respectively. The light yield of MAPbBr3 is estimated to be 90 000 ± 18 000 ph MeV−1 at 77 K and 116 000 ± 23 000 ph MeV−1 at 8 K.
