Few-Body Decay Dynamics in Colloidal CsPbI3 Quantum-Dot Clusters
Abstract
Colloidal perovskite quantum dots combine bright emission with the ability to self- assemble into closely spaced structures, enabling radiative dynamics to be studied from isolated emitters to few-dot clusters. Here, we characterize CsPbI3 perovskite quan- tum dots from isolated emitters to self-assembled clusters containing up to ten dots. We estimate the number of emitters in each cluster using a combination of photon autocorrelation, blinking statistics, and emission brightness. Compared with isolated dots, clusters containing two or more emitters exhibit biexponential decay, with a short lifetime that decreases with emitter number and an additional long-lived component. Photon-correlation Fourier spectroscopy shows that the single-dot emission remains far from the lifetime-limited regime. Nevertheless, we observe emitter-number-dependent decay dynamics even in this low-coherence regime. Together, these measurements es- tablish self-assembled perovskite quantum-dot clusters as a platform for studying how collective optical behavior emerges between the single-emitter and ensemble limits
