Description

Using time-dependent terahertz spectroscopy, we investigate the role of mixed-cation and mixed-halide on the ultrafast photoconductivity dynamics of two different methylammonium (MA) lead-iodide perovskite thin films. It is found that the dynamics of conductivity after photoexcitation reveals significant correlation on the microscopy crystalline features of the samples. Our results show that mixed-cation and lead mixed-halide affect the charge carrier dynamics of the lead-iodide perovskites. In the (5-AVA)0.05(MA)0.95PbI2.95Cl0.05/spiro thin film, we observe a much weaker saturation trend of the initial photoconductivity with high excitation fluence, which is attributed to the combined effect of sequential charge carrier generation, transfer, cooling and polaron formation.
