Metal halide perovskite nanoplatelets combine quantum confinement with structural anisotropy, yet how thickness and processing govern their internal crystal lattice versus collective organization remains unresolved. In this study, we separate internal structure, superlattice organization, and film texture using 2-5 monolayer CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets and larger nanocrystals across spin-coating and drop-casting routes. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction analysis of the specimens indicates that orthorhombic-compatible signatures recur throughout the thickness and deposition series, with a preserved lattice-morphology relationship in which 020/040 and 101/202 lattice planes are associated with the platelet thickness and lateral dimensions, respectively. Upon deposition on the substrate, we notice a thickness-dependent crossover: 2-monolayer nanoplatelets remain predominantly face-on across deposition routes, whereas thicker nanoplatelets show marked processing sensitivity and orientational disorder. Processing therefore can be used as a tool to direct the NPL packing, establishing thickness as a key determinant of processing sensitivity.
We report the epitaxial growth of high-quality bixbyite-structured Sc2O3 thin films on differently oriented Yttria-stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) substrates by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. Films grown along the ⟨111⟩ orientation exhibit atomically flat surfaces, full structural relaxation, and a single rotational...

ABSTRACT Borophene, the 2D allotrope of boron, exhibits electronic properties that strongly depend on the supporting substrate and film thickness. Understanding how interlayer and substrate interactions jointly regulate borophene's electronic properties remains a key challenge for the future exploitation of this emergi...

The properties of thin films largely differ from those of bulk material. Moreover, deviations from their idealized structure might influence their properties, both structurally and electronically. We characterize the formation of ultrathin zinc oxide (ZnO) layers on Ag(111) using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ult...

The high strength and flexibility of two-dimensional materials enable their use in flexible devices and structures with a high curvature. However, thin films adhered to curved structures can wrinkle, fold, buckle, delaminate, or crack, depending on the curvature, film thickness, film mechanical properties, and film-s...

Monolayer lateral heterostructures (LHSs) composed of two-dimensional semiconducting ferroelectrics hold promise for non-volatile electronic and optoelectronic applications. Lattice misfit strain at these atomically sharp interfaces can significantly modulate in-plane polarization and related electronic properties,...
