Band-Like Charge Transport in Cs₂AgBiBr₆ and Mixed Antimony-Bismuth Cs₂AgBi_{1- x}Sb_xBr₆ Halide Double Perovskites

Recently, halide double perovskites (HDPs), such as Cs₂AgBiBr₆, have been reported as promising nontoxic alternatives to lead halide perovskites. However, it remains unclear whether the charge-transport properties of these materials are as favorable as for lead-based perovskites. In this work, we study the mobilities of...

Interconversion between Free Charges and Bound Excitons in 2D Hybrid Lead Halide Perovskites

The optoelectronic properties of hybrid perovskites can be easily tailored by varying their components. Specifically, mixing the common short organic cation (methylammonium (MA)) with a larger one (e.g., butyl ammonium (BA)) results in 2-dimensional perovskites with varying thicknesses of inorganic layers separated by the large organic cation...

Direct-indirect character of the bandgap in methylammonium lead iodide perovskite

Metal halide perovskites such as methylammonium lead iodide (CH₃ NH₃ PbI₃) are generating great excitement due to their outstanding optoelectronic properties, which lend them to application in high-efficiency solar cells and light-emission devices. However, there is currently debate over what drives the second...
