ABSTRACT
To reduce the size of optoelectronic devices, it is essential to understand the crystal size effect on the carrier transport through microscale materials. Here, we show a soft contact method to probe the properties of irregularly shaped microscale perovskite crystals by employing a movable liquid metal electrode to form a self-adaptative deformable electrode-perovskite-electrode junction. Accordingly, we demonstrate that (1) the photocurrents of perovskite quantum dot films and microplatelets show profound differences regarding both the on/off ratio and the response time upon light illumination; and (2) small-size perovskite (<50 µm) junctions may show negative differential resistance (NDR) behavior, whereas the NDR phenomenon is absent in large-size perovskite junctions within the same bias regime. Our studies provide a method for studying arbitrary-shaped crystals without mechanical damage, assisting the understanding of the photogenerated carriers transport through microscale crystals.
