Characteristics of nanoscale materials are often different from the corresponding bulk properties providing new, sometimes unexpected, opportunities for applications. Here we investigate 8 nm colloidal nanoparticles MAPbBr3 perovskites and contrast them to ones large microcrystallites representing a bulk. X-ray spectroscopies provide an exciton binding energy 0.32 ± 0.10 eV in nanoparticles. This is 5 times higher than value crystals (0.084 0.010 eV), readily explains high fluorescence...

Two photon photoluminescence (2PPL) from single crystals of methyl ammonium lead bromide (CH3NH3PbBr3, MAPbBr3) is studied. We observe two components in the 2PPL spectra, which we assign to (PL) carrier recombination at band edge and due self-trapping excitons.
