Wide-Angle X‑ray Diffraction Evidence of Structural
Coherence in CsPbBr3 Nanocrystal Superlattices

Films
made of colloidal CsPbBr3 nanocrystals packed
in isolated or densely-packed superlattices display a remarkably high
degree of structural coherence. The structural coherence is revealed
by the presence of satellite peaks accompanying Bragg reflections
in wide-angle X-ray diffraction experiments in parallel-beam reflection
geometry. The satellite peaks, also called “superlattice reflections”,
arise from the interference of X-rays diffracted by the atomic planes
of the orthorhombic perovskite lattice. The interference is due to
the precise spatial periodicity of the nanocrystals separated by organic
ligands in the superlattice. The presence of satellite peaks is a
fingerprint of the high crystallinity and long-range order of nanocrystals,
comparable to those of multilayer superlattices prepared by physical
methods. The angular separation between satellite peaks is highly
sensitive to changes in the superlattice periodicity. These characteristics
of the satellite peaks are exploited to track the superlattice compression
under vacuum, as well as to observe the superlattice growth in situ
from colloidal solutions by slow solvent evaporation.
