Abstract
Films of (C4H9NH3)2MCl4 (M=Cu and Sn) organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have been deposited in-situ by a single-source thermal ablation technique on glassy, crystalline and polymeric substrates. Independently of the substrate, the films were well crystallized, c-axis oriented and with a narrow rocking curve of the (0010) reflection (full width at half maximum <1°). The (0 0 ℓ) reflections were consistent with those of the bulk orthorhombic phases and the “c” lattice parameters were 30.85±0.05 and 32.35±0.05 Å, for the Cu- and the Sn-compound, respectively. (C4H9NH3)2CuCl4 films had an optical absorption peak at 375 nm at room temperature. From the magnetic point of view they act as layered nanocomposites with a dominant ferromagnetic component localized in planes (2D magnetism). Tc was 7.3±0.1 K and a moderate easy-plane anisotropy was observed. The photoluminescence spectra of typical (C4H9NH3)2SnCl4 films at 12 K had a broad yellow band, which did not correspond to any significant peak in the absorption spectrum. The films were semiconducting down to 250 K or, in the case of the best samples, down to 200 K and became insulating at lower temperature. The resistivity of the best films was (5±1) 104 Ω cm at 300 K, and the energy gap was 1.11 eV.
