<div>The vibrational dynamics of pure and methylammonium-doped formamidinium lead iodide perovskites</div><div>(FAPbI3) has been investigated by high-resolution neutron spectroscopy. For the ?first time, we provide an exhaustive and accurate analysis of the cation vibrations and underlying local structure around the organic moiety in these materials using ?first-principles electronic-structure</div><div>calculations validated by the neutron data. Inelastic Neutron Scattering experiments on FAPbI3</div><div>provide direct evidence of the formation of a low-temperature orientational glass, unveiling the</div><div>physico-chemical origin of phase metastability in the tetragonal structure. Further analysis of these</div><div>data provides a suitable starting point to understand and explore the stabilization of the perovskite</div><div>framework via doping with small amounts of organic cations. In particular, we ?find that hydrogen</div><div>bonds in FAPbI3 are strengthened in a synergistic manner as a result of cage deformation induced</div><div>by the dynamics of the neighbouring methylammonium cations.</div>

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
