Fundamental understanding of the optical properties of DPs, particularly the self-trapped exciton (STEs) dynamics, plays a critical role in a range of optoelectronic applications. Our study investigates how Fe doping influences the structural and optical properties of Cs<sub>2</sub>AgBiCl<sub>6</sub> DPs by understanding their STEs dynamics, which is currently lacking in the literature. A combined experimental–computational approach is employed to investigate the optoelectronic properties of pure and doped Cs<sub>2</sub>AgBiCl<sub>6</sub> (Fe–Cs<sub>2</sub>AgBiCl<sub>6</sub>) perovskites. Successful incorporation of Fe<sup>3+</sup> ions is confirmed by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Moreover, the Fe–Cs<sub>2</sub>AgBiCl<sub>6</sub> DPs exhibit strong absorption from below 400 nm up to 700 nm, indicating sub-band gap state transitions originating from surface defects. Photoluminescence (PL) analysis demonstrates a significant enhancement in the PL intensity, attributed to an increased radiative recombination rate and higher STE density. The radiative kinetics and average lifetime are investigated by the time-resolved PL (TRPL) method; in addition, temperature-dependent PL measurements provide valuable insights into activation energy and exciton–phonon coupling strength.

This paper explores measurement services as a way to lower this barrier. I envision the Entity for Multivariate Material Analysis (EMMA), a centralized service that offers measurement bundles tailored for common research needs. EMMA’s true strength, however, lies in its software ecosystem to treat, simulate, and store the measured data. Its close integration of measurements and their simulation not only produces metadata-rich experimental data but also provides a self-consistent framework that links the sample with a snapshot of its digital twin. If EMMA was to materialize, its database of experimental data connected to digital twins could serve as the fuel for physics-informed machine learning and a trustworthy horizon of expectations for material properties.
