Hot Carrier Cooling and Recombination Dynamics of Chlorine Doped Hybrid Perovskite Single Crystals

ORAL

Abstract

Controlling the photoexcited properties and behavior of hybrid perovskites by halide doping has the potential to impact a wide range of emerging technologies, including solar cells and radiation detectors. We examined crystalline samples of methyl ammonium lead bromide substituted with chlorine (MAPbBr3-xClx) by transient reflectivity spectroscopy and non-adiabatic molecular dynamics (NAMD) simulations. At picosecond timescales, the addition of chlorine to the perovskite crystal increased the observed rate of hot carrier cooling by approximately 30%. Calculated nonadiabatic electron-phonon coupling constants increased with chlorine doping percentage mimicking the experimental data. At longer times, chlorine doped samples exhibit smaller ambipolar mobility and slower surface recombination velocity which may be a key factor in enhancing perovskite photoelectric devices.
