Abstract

Short-range investigation by means of variable-temperature neutron total scattering and pair distribution function analysis revealed that the local environment around the methylammonium (MA) cation in MAPbBr3 hybrid perovskite is maintained through the different phase transitions observed as a function of temperature. In addition, the orthorhombic distortion of the lattice is present at any temperature. Local structure around MA changes from static to configurationally averaged or dynamic with temperature but the local structure of the low-temperature orthorhombic phase is preserved.

Keywords: hybrid perovskites; methylammonium lead bromide; neutron scattering; pair distribution function; photovoltaics.
