Understanding the interactions between photoexcited charge carriers (electrons and holes) with lattice vibrations (phonons) in quantum confined semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) is of fundamental interest and a prerequisite for their use in fabricating high-performance optoelectronic devices. Such interactions have a significant impact on their optoelectronic properties including their charge carrier mobility and photoluminescence. Here, these interactions are investigated in cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, where X is Cl, Br, or I) NC perovskites. It is shown that a wide broadening of the excitonic linewidth in these NCs arises from strong exciton-phonon coupling, which is substantially dominated by longitudinal optical phonons via the Frhlich interaction. Unlike the behavior of conventional semiconductors these NCs display a general redshift of their emission energy peak with reducing temperature. Interestingly, the CsPbCl3 NCs also display an initial blueshift and undergo at structural phase transition at approximate to 175-200 K. The anomalous redshift observed is modeled and analyzed using a Bose-Einstein two-oscillator model to interpret the interaction of excitons with acoustic and optical phonons which induce a renormalization of the bandgap. The net renormalization due to zero point motion (T = 0 K) is found to be approximate to 41.6 and approximate to 94.9 meV for CsPbBr3 and CsPbI3 NCs, respectively.
