Time-resolved THz spectroscopy of metal-halide perovskite single crystals and polycrystalline thin films

In this study the photoconductivity and charge-carrier dynamics of the metal-halide perovskite MAPbI3 is investigated via optical-pump-THz-probe spectroscopy (OPTPS). We perform OPTPS on polycrystalline MAPbI3 thin films in both transmission and reflection modes, and demonstrate the consistency of extracted mobility and recombination parameters between the two geometries. Furthermore, we performed OPTP measurement on MAPbI3 single crystal in reflection and compare the mobility and charge recombination dynamics between the polycrystalline thin films and perovskite single crystals. Finally, the consequence of our results for future metal halide optoelectronic devices are discussed.
