Optimizing doping thresholds for enhanced scintillation in 2D hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites by Maddalena, Francesco, Makowski, Michal, Xiao, Chengyuan, Sheikh, Md Abdul Kuddus, Kowal, Dominik, Witkowski, Marcin E., Drozdowski, Konrad J., Mahato, Somnath, Dujardin, Christophe, Calà, Roberto, Auffray, Etiennette, Mahyuddin, Muhammad Haris, Drozdowski, Winicjusz, Birowosuto, Muhammad Danang, Dang, Cuong

“…We observe that inclusion up to 5 % of t-Bu (x = 0.1) within the structure leads to a narrowing of the bandgap, leading also to an improvement of the light yield by 10 % and lowering of the energy resolution, compared to pristine BA2PbBr4. The bandgap widens, compared to pristine BA2PbBr4, with higher concentrations above 5 %, resulting in effects for the scintillating properties of the 2D-HOIP at room temperature at t-Bu concentrations above 5 %, with reduced light yield and broadened energy resolution. …”
