Halide perovskites have recently emerged as promising semiconductor materials for several applications including solar cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and radiation detectors. The charge carrier transport properties, which could be evaluated by the mobility-lifetime (mu-tau or μ-г) product, serve an important role for the development of halide perovskites for radiation detection applications. In this perspective, we firstly explain the charge transport mechanism and the limiting factors that determine the intrinsic charge carrier mobility in halide perovskite single crystals. Then, we overview the techniques and methods that have been employed for evaluating the charge carrier mobility (for both electrons and holes). Lastly, we discuss the discrepancy between the experimentally determined carrier mobility from the literature for halide perovskite single crystals and a perspective on future developments for carrier mobility enhancement is provided.
