Organic-inorganic layered perovskites are two-dimensional quantum wells with layers of lead-halide octahedra stacked between organic ligand barriers. The combination of their dielectric confinement and ionic sublattice results in excitonic…

Metal halide perovskites have shown great performance as solar energy materials, but their outstanding optoelectronic properties are paired with unusually strong anharmonic effects. It has been proposed that this intriguing combination of…
We present the vibrational properties and phonon dispersion for quasi-2D hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (BA)$_2$CsPb$_2$I$_7$, (HA)$_2$CsPb$_2$I$_7$, (BA)$_2$(MA)Pb$_2$I$_7$, and (HA)$_2$(MA)Pb$_2$I$_7$ calculated from first…
Hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductors feature complex lattice dynamics due to the ionic character of the crystal and the softness arising from non-covalent bonds between molecular moieties and the inorganic network. Here we establish that…
The coherent lattice vibrations significantly impact physical and chemical processes in solids, such as heat transfer, displacive phase transitions, and thermal conductivity. Thus, probing lattice dynamics in real-space and real-time is…

Lead-free halide double perovskites provide a promising solution for the long-standing issues of lead-containing halide perovskites, i.e., the toxicity of Pb and the low stability under ambient conditions and high-intensity illumination.…
The coherence of collective modes, such as phonons, and their modulation of the electronic states are long sought in complex systems, which is a cross-cutting issue in photovoltaics and quantum electronics. In photovoltaic cells and lasers…

Inorganic metal halide perovskites are promising materials for next-generation technologies due to a plethora of unique physical properties, many of which cannot be observed in the oxide perovskites. On the other hand, the search for…
While the vibrational thermodynamics of materials with small anharmonicity at low temperatures has been understood well based on the harmonic phonons approximation; at high temperatures, this understanding must accommodate how phonons…
Surface states are ubiquitous to semiconductors and significantly impact the physical properties and consequently the performance of optoelectronic devices. Moreover, surface effects are strongly amplified in lower dimensional systems such…
The phonon dispersion relations of crystal lattices can often be well-described with the harmonic approximation. However, when the potential energy landscape exhibits more anharmonicity, for instance, in case of a weakly bonded crystal or…
There is a growing consensus that the exceptional optoelectronic properties of metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are largely due to the peculiar interplay between the inorganic cage lattice, composed of a labile network of corner-sharing…
