contents The successful development of optoelectronic devices is contingent on a detailed understanding of interactions between light and excited energy states in photoactive materials. In 2D perovskites, excitons are the dominant photogenerated species and their energetic structure plays a pivotal role, governing photon absorption and emission processes. In these materials, dark exciton states can undergo photoluminescence due to the relaxation of selection rules and this process can be modulated by an external magnetic field, enabling unambiguous identification of the exciton fine structure. Previous reports of magneto-optical spectroscopy on 2D perovskites have been restricted to the macroscopic response, where key information is lost regarding the microscopic heterogeneity of the photoluminescence. Here, we use magneto-optical microscopy for the first time on perovskite materials to elucidate the spatial variation of exciton emission processes. In 2D perovskite thin films, we distinguish between regions of localised bright and dark exciton populations, correlated to the film morphology. In single crystals, we show that dark excitons become localised at the edges, where excitons can be trapped in two distinct types of sub-gap states. This work represents significant progress in understanding the properties of exciton emission in 2D perovskites, which is crucial for the development of optoelectronic technology.
