Starting materials: MACl (TCI, >98.0%), PbCl2 (Aldrich, 98.0%), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Wako), and N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) (Wako)
Product: Single crystalline colorless MAPbCl3 with the size of several hundred micrometers
Description: Optical trapping induced crystallization: 1:1 MACl/PbCl2 (1.0 M) were dissolved in DMSO: DMF solvent mixture (1:1, v-v) to prepare the precursor solution. The solution was centrifuged at 10,000 r.p.m for 5 min; the supernatant was used for further experiments. 10 μL of the supernatant solution was used to prepare a thin layer (100-200 um thickness) in a laboratory-built sample chamber. A near-infrared (NIR) laser (Spectron Laser System, λ = 1064 nm) was focused onto the solution surface through an objective lens at 60 times magnification (Olympus UPlanFLN with a numerical aperture of 0.90).
Comment: Details of the sample chamber can be found on Page 2 of the publication.
Method: Single crystal X-ray diffraction
Description: The crystal was mounted on the glass capillary and fixed with epoxy resin. Crystallographic data were collected using a Rigaku RAXIS-RAPID diffractometer with Mo-Kα (λ = 0.71073 Å) radiation from a graphite monochromator. Structural refinements were performed using the full-matrix least-squares method on F2. The calculations were carried out with the Yadokari-XG software.
