摘要

Abstract

Quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) metal halide perovskite (MHP) ferroelectrics

characterized by spontaneous polarization and semiconducting properties

hold promise for functional photoferroelectrics in applications such as optical storage and in-memory computing. However

typical quasi-2D perovskite films contain multiple quantum wells with random width distribution

which degrade optoelectronic properties and spontaneous polarization. Here

we introduce phase-pure quantum wells with uniform well width by incorporating the inorganic salt MnBr

which effectively controls crystallization kinetics and restricts the nucleation of high n-phases

producing high-quality films. The resulting (BA)

CsPb

(BA = C

) film demonstrates ferroelectric hysteresis behavior

clear in-plane ferroelectric domain switching

and a high photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQE) of 88.7%. Significantly

we observed a nonvolatile

reversible in situ photoluminescence (PL) modulation of Mn

in this ferroelectric MHP film under an applied electric field

attributed to lattice distortion from ferroelectric polarization orientation. These findings enabled the development of a simple system comprising gallium nitride (GaN) light emitting diodes (LEDs) and ferroelectric films to implement multi-state signal encoding and a logic AND gate. This work advances the fabrication of efficient ferroelectric MHP films and highlights their potential for advanced optoelectr

onic applications.
