Abstract
Currently, organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have become one of the hottest research focuses due to their diverse and technologically important optoelectronic properties. For example, methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3), the most popular three-dimensional (3D) hybrid perovskite in this field, has gained great prominence since 2009 as a new prototype material for next generation high-efficiency thin film solar cells with very low cost. Besides photovoltaic applications, tunable broadband white-light emission relevant to solid-state lighting has also been demonstrated in two-dimensional (2D) lead-halide hybrid perovskites. In both cases, light-induced structural rearrangements are proposed to be the microscopic origin behind these novel functionalities, with little direct experimental evidence presented so far. Probing the functionality-relevant ultrafast structural responses in hybrid perovskites is the main focus of this thesis.
