Two-dimensional, Ruddlesden-Popper organic-inorganic hybrid layered perovskites (2D-RPs) are solution-grown semiconductors with prospective applications in next-generation optoelectronics. The heat-carrying, low-energy acoustic vibrations of 2D-RPs, which are important for heat management of 2D-RP-based devices, have remained unexplored. Here we report on the propagation of coherent longitudinal acoustic phonons along the cross-plane direction of 2D-RPs, following separate characterizations of below-bandgap refractive index for each 2D-RP. Through experiments on crystals of systematically varied perovskite layer thickness, we demonstrate significant reduction in both group velocity and propagation length of acoustic phonons in 2D-RPs as compared to the three-dimensional methylammonium lead iodide. As borne out by a minimal coarse-grained model, these vibrational properties arise from a large acoustic impedance mismatch between the alternating layers of perovskite sheets and bulky organic cations. Furthermore, our results inform on thermal transport in highly impedance-mismatched crystal sub-lattices and provide insights towards design of materials that exhibit highly anisotropic thermal dissipation properties.
