Long-lived polarization memory in the electronic states of lead-halide perovskites from local structural dynamics

Journal Article Rivett, Jasmine P. H. ; Tan, Liang Z. ; Price, Michael B. ; ... - Nature Communications

Anharmonic crystal lattice dynamics have been observed in lead halide perovskites on picosecond timescales. Here, we report that the soft nature of the perovskite crystal lattice gives rise to dynamic fluctuations in the electronic properties of excited states. We use linear polarization selective transient absorption spectroscopy to study the charge carrier relaxation dynamics in lead-halide perovskite films and nanocrystals. We find that photo-excited charge carriers maintain an initial polarization anisotropy for several picoseconds, independent of crystallite size and composition, and well beyond the reported timescales of carrier scattering. First-principles calculations find intrinsic anisotropies in the transition dipole moment, which dependmore »« less

Direct Correlation of Charge Carrier Transport to Local Crystal Quality in Lead Halide Perovskites

Journal Article Hickey, Casey L. ; Grumstrup, Erik M. - Nano Letters

Although solution processing methods provide an attractive route toward development of low-cost functional materials, these accessible fabrication approaches can engender high concentrations of microscopic structural defects that are detrimental to performance. In lead halide perovskites, structural disorder derived from solution processing has been implicated as an important determiner of photophysical properties. However, a direct correlation between the functional properties of these materials and the local crystal structure in which non-equilibrium states evolve has remained elusive, in part because structural heterogeneities occur on length scales that defy conventional characterization techniques. To address this knowledge gap, in this work we have combinedmore »« less

Local polar fluctuations in lead halide perovskite crystals

Journal Article Yaffe, Omer ; Guo, Yinsheng ; Tan, Liang Z. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Hybrid lead-halide perovskites have emerged as an excellent class of photovoltaic materials. Recent reports suggest that the organic molecular cation is responsible for local polar fluctuations that inhibit carrier recombination. We combine low-frequency Raman scattering with first-principles molecular dynamics (MD) to study the fundamental nature of these local polar fluctuations. Our observations of a strong central peak in the cubic phase of both hybrid (CH3NH3PbBr3) and all-inorganic (CsPbBr3) lead-halide perovskites show that anharmonic, local polar fluctuations are intrinsic to the general lead-halide perovskite structure, and not unique to the dipolar organic cation. MD simulations indicate that head-to-head Cs motion coupledmore »« less

Carrier Diffusion Lengths Exceeding 1 μm Despite Trap-Limited Transport in Halide Double Perovskites

Journal Article Delor, Milan ; Slavney, Adam H. ; Wolf, Nathan R. ; ... - ACS Energy Letters

In this work we image charge carrier transport over nanometers–micrometers and picoseconds–microseconds in halide double perovskites Cs₂AgBiBr₆ and Cs₂AgTlBr₆ single crystals using stroboscopic scattering microscopy. Both materials exhibit long, microsecond carrier lifetimes because of their indirect or symmetry-forbidden direct bandgaps. We extract free-charge and trap-limited mobilities near the surface and in the crystal bulk. The free-charge mobilities for both materials (~10–50 cm²/(V s)) can reach those reported for archetypal lead halide perovskites. We measure trap densities exceeding 10¹⁷ cm^–3 within ~20 nm of the crystal surface. Measurements on freshly cleaved or thermally annealed crystals suggest the traps are primarily halidemore »« less
