Abstract

Intrinsic structural anisotropy in methylammonium (MA) and formamidinium (FA) lead halide perovskites were examined and by various laboratory X-ray diffraction techniques including both out-of-plane and in-plane geometries. Our quantitative analysis revealed the presence of anisotropic strain in the cubic perovskites. Comparative studies on FAPbBr(3) and MAPbBr(3) showed that the FAPbBr(3) lattice was more strained and the anisotropic features were rationalized using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations (AIMD). Our results shed light on future perovskite film design to minimize strain induced decomposition.
