A facile and effective "liquid knife" is created by controlling the dewetting process of the liquid precursor, yielding patterning single-crystalline perovskite microplates with uniform size, precise positioning, high quality, and low lasing thresholds. The sizes and location of single-crystalline perovskite are controllable, leading to mode-tunable lasing emission and patterned lasers.
Keywords: lasers; perovskites; self-assembly; single crystals; wettability.
