Small Electron Polarons in CsPbBr3: Competition between Electron Localization and Delocalization

Alfredo Pasquarello, Stefano Falletta, Julia Anna Wiktor

We study the nature of excess electrons in CsPbBr3 and identify several single and double polaronic states. We emphasize the importance of proper inclusion of the self-interaction corrections for the stability of small electron polarons in this material. W ...
