Abstract Super long perovskite microwires (PMWs) are in a great demand in many fields such as low-loss microcables and integrated optical waveguide. Despite decades of research into PMWs, single crystal PMWs with several centimeters long have not been obtained. Here, ultralong (up to 7.6 centimeters) monoclinic crystal structure CH3NH3PbI3·DMF PMWs have been synthesized. The high-quality microwire exhibits long carrier lifetime of 1775.7 ns. The as-prepared free-standing PMWs can be integrated to any arbitrary substrate and 808 nm near-infrared photodetectors have been successfully demonstrated. The fabricated device shows a high light on/off ratio of 1.79×106 and an extremely low dark current of 2.5 fA at 1 V bias. This work provides a strategy for the solution growth of ultralong microwires.

AbstractA contactless spatially resolved measurement of bulk free-carrier lifetime in polycrystalline silicon ingots was accomplished using optically modulated free-carrier infrared absorption. Using a CW Nd:YAG laser (λ = 1.319 μm) for a probe and novel pulsed, tunable, infrared dye laser (λ = 1.10 to 1.13 μm) with photon energies near the Si bandgap, for a pump, the free-carrier lifetime was determined from transient absorption measurements to a maximum depth of 3.0 cm from the surface of an ingot. The spatial dependence of the free-carrier lifetime and the distribution of precipitates (determined from infrared probe transmission measurements) measured along the growth axis of an ingot were found to be strongly related to the spatial dependence of the I–V characteristics of large area solar cells fabricated from the subsequently wafered ingot.
