Fig. 1. Spin lifetime τs of electrons of CsPbBr3.

Fig. 1

We compare electron and hole τs in Supplementary information (SI) Fig. S7 and they have the same order of magnitude at all conditions we investigated. a τs due to both the electron-phonon (e-ph) and electron-electron (e-e) scatterings calculated as a function of T at different electron densities ne compared with experimental data. In Fig. S6, we show τs versus T using log-scale for both y- and x-axes to highlight low-T region. Exp. A are our experimental data of T2* of free electrons in bulk CsPbBr3 at a small external transverse magnetic field. For Exp. A, the density of photo-excited carriers is estimated to be about 1018 cm−3. Exp. B are experimental data of exciton τs of CsPbBr3 films from Ref. 11. Exp. C and Exp. D are experimental data of spin relaxation time T1 of bulk CsPbBr3 and CsPbBr3 nanocrystals measured by the spin inertia method from Ref. 9 and34 respectively. In Ref. 34, it was declared that quantum confinement effects do not modify the spin relaxation/dephasing significantly (see its Table 1), so that their T1 data can be compared with our theoretical results. For Exp. C and D, the measured lifetimes cannot be unambiguously ascribed to electrons or holes and can be considered as values between electron and hole T1. The carrier densities are not reported for Exp. C and D. b τs due to both the e-ph and e-e scatterings as a function of ne at different T.
