Vibrational Dynamics of Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Perovskites

ORAL

Abstract

Vibrational modes, which are connected to the electronic properties of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) through the structural transition, electron-phonon coupling, and hot-phonon bottleneck effect, is an important topic for perovskite solar cells. This talk focuses on the phonon modes of two perovskite materials, MAPbI3 (MA = CH3NH3) and FAPbI3 (FA = HC(NH2)2). We have performed inelastic neutron scattering, Raman scattering, and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations on both systems. Our analysis well reproduces the low-temperature inelastic neutron scattering spectra for MAPbI3 and FAPbI3, and illuminates the connection between the vibrational dynamics and the organic molecules.
