Description
Summary:The layered hybrid double perovskites emerged as excellent semiconductor materials owing to their environment compatibility and stability. However, these materials are weakly luminescent, and their photoluminescence (PL) properties can be modulated via doping. While Mn 2+ doping in perovskites is well known, but to the best of our knowledge the doping of Mn 2+ in layered double perovskites (LDPs) is yet to be explored. Herein, for the first time, we demonstrate the doping of Mn 2+ in hybrid inorganic-organic two-dimensional (2D) LDPs, (BA) 4 AgBiBr 8 (BA = n-butyl amine) via a simple solid-state mechanochemical route. The powder x-ray diffraction pattern, and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis confirm the successful incorporation of Mn 2+ ions inside (BA) 4 AgBiBr 8 lattice. The Mn 2+ doped 2D LDP shows energy transfer from host excitons to d-electrons of Mn 2+ ions, which results in red-shifted broad Mn 2+ emission band centered at 625 nm, attributed to the spin-forbidden 4 T 1 to 6 A 1 internal transition. This work opens up new possibilities to dope metal ions in 2D LDPs to tune the optical as well as magnetic properties.
