Asymmetrical Electrical Performance across Different Planes of Solution-Grown MAPbBr 3 Crystals of mm Dimensions.

Throughout a few years, carrier transport studies across HaP single crystals have gained enormous importance for current generation photovoltaic and photodetector research with their superior optoelectronic properties compared to commercially available polycrystalline materials. Utilizing the room-temperature solution-grown method, we synthesized MAPbBr 3 crystals and examined their electrical transport properties. Although the X-ray diffraction reveals the cubical nature of the crystals, we have observed anisotropy in the electrical transport behavior and variation in dielectric constant across the three opposite faces of the crystals of mm dimensions. The face with a higher dielectric constant depicts improved parameters from electrical characteristics such as lower trap densities and higher mobility values. We further explore the origin of its anisotropic nature by performing X-ray diffraction on three opposite faces of crystals. Our studies define the specific faces of cuboid-shaped MAPbBr 3 crystals for efficient electrical contact in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices.
