  Two-dimensional (2D) layered hybrid perovskites provide an ideal platform for
studying the properties of excitons. Here, we report on a strong
triplet-exciton and longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon coupling in 2D
(C6H5CH2CH2NH3, PEA)2PbBr4 perovskites. The triplet excitons exhibit strong
photoluminescence (PL) in thick perovskite microflakes, and the PL is not
detectable for monolayer microflakes. The coupling strength of the triplet
exciton-LO phonon is approximately two to three times greater than that of the
singlet exciton-LO phonon with a LO phonon energy of about 21 meV. This
difference might due to the different locations of singlet excitons located in
the well and triplet excitons located in the barrier in the 2D layered
perovskite. Revealing the strong coupling of triplet exciton-LO phonon provides
a fundamental understanding of many-body interaction in hybrid perovskites,
which is useful to develop and optimize the optoelectronic devices based on 2D
perovskites in the future.
