In this work, six natural Mg-Al spinel samples with varying Cr contents were studied. Each sample was cut into eight slices and heated to seven different temperatures (550–850 °C), creating a stepwise increase in the degree of disorder. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra were subsequently collected at liquid nitrogen temperature.

A quantitative model has been developed to determine the photoluminescence (PL) peak energy and PL linewidth through a broad temperature range (from 10 K to 300 K) using Monte Carlo simulation of exciton relaxation and hopping processes. Incorporating temperature-induced bandgap expansion allows for a quantitative fit of our computational model to the experimental findings. The PL peak energies of all CsPbX<sub>3</sub> NCs exhibit a blue shift due to the localization of excitons in higher energy states at elevated temperatures. On moving from X = I to Br to Cl, the rate of bandgap expansion decreases with temperature, which indicates that the ionic bond between cation and anion becomes stronger, resulting in less shifting in PL peak energy. The PL linewidth is significantly influenced by thermal disorder, resulting in a noticeable increase in the full-width half maximum (FWHM) as the temperature rises. Additionally, it has been observed that excitons in deeper localized states are minimal in CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> and CsPbCl<sub>3</sub>.
