Perovskite nanocrystals of the form FAPbBr<sub>3</sub> display significant promise in field optoelectronics. In particular, these could bridge `green gap' LED technology, and also serve to down-convert ultraviolet light for harvesting using silicon-based photovoltaic cells. To remain competitive with traditional devices, optimising energy transfer between nanocrystal device is crucial, however very little investigation has been performed into this subject. Here, we characterise dynamics on a...
