Dynamics of glassy state in MAPbBr3-xClxmixed lead halide perovskites

초록

Mixed lead halide perovskites have shown remarkable performance in photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications. Pure hybrid halide perovskites undergo clear phase transitions, however, the phase transitions in mixed perovskites are less studied. We present a contrasting behavior of the phase transition dynamics of MAPbBr3-xClx (MA = CH3NH3+) mixed halide perovskites compared to the pure MAPbX3 (X = Cl, Br) counterparts, which typically exhibit order-disorder phase transitions through a series of distinct structural phases. We have employed several spectroscopic techniques including temperature-dependent PXRD, Raman, dielectric and Brillouin spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the mixed halide perovskite MAPbBr1.5Cl1.5 does not undergo any structural phase transition typically observed in pure halide perovskites. We observed signatures of glassy behavior in mixed compositions of this system. In addition, we also explored the effects of replacing A-site cation on the phase transition behaviors. The results contribute to the understanding of phase transition mechanisms in perovskites and have implications for their stability and optoelectronic properties.
