Cooling dynamics of electrons in MAPbBr(3) probed in the deep-UV

Majed Chergui, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Malte Oppermann, Peter Chen, Lijie Wang, Yu-Hsien Chiang

Transient absorption in the Visible and in the deep-UV is performed on MAPbBr(3) thin films with 3.1 eV pump excitation. The UV probe can access higher order transitions in the material exploring different high-symmetry points of the Brillouin zone. Uncorr ...
