Popis: A controllable electronic manipulation in a frustrated magnetic system such as solution-based two-dimensional (2D) all-inorganic perovskites offers a possible route for their integrations with electronic and magnetic devices for their advanced applications. Here, we perform element-specific investigations of an emergent class of quasi-2D all-inorganic perovskites Cs2CuCl4–xBrx with (0 ≤ x ≤ 4) using a combination of synchrotron-radiation photoelectron techniques. Surface- and element-sensitive X-ray absorption spectroscopy spectra of Cu L2,3 edges indicate strong electronic transition that is largely influenced by their halogen content at room temperature. This implies that site-selective occupation largely dominates the electronic transition across the unoccupied states of these series since chlorine atoms possess a stronger electronegative character than bromine atoms. Moreover, the implication of halogen site is reflected in the valence band of Cl-rich copper perovskite in which the valence band edge i...
