Hybrid perovskites are a rapidly growing research area, having reached photovoltaic power conversion efficiencies of over 25 %. We apply a symmetry-motivated analysis method to analyse X-ray pair distribution function data of the cubic phases of the hybrid perovskites MAPb$X_3$ ($X$ = I, Br, Cl). We demonstrate that the local structure of the inorganic components of MAPb$X_3$ ($X$ = I, Br, Cl) are dominated by scissoring type deformations of the Pb$X_6$ octahedra. We find these modes to have a larger amplitude than equivalent distortions in the $A$-site deficient perovskite ScF$_3$ and demonstrate that they show a significant departure from the harmonic approximation. Calculations performed on an all-inorganic analogue to the hybrid perovskite, FrPbBr$_3$, show that the large amplitudes of the scissoring modes are coupled to an opening of the electronic band gap. Finally, we use density functional theory calculations to show that the organic MA cations reorientate to accomodate the large amplitude scissoring modes.

Graphene has shown great application potentials as the host material for next generation electronic devices. However, despite its intriguing properties, one of the biggest hurdles for graphene to be useful as an electronic material is its lacking of
an energy gap in the electronic spectra. This, for example, prevents the use of graphene in making transistors. Although several proposals have been made to open a gap in graphenes electronic spectra, they all require complex engineering of the graphene layer. Here we show that when graphene is epitaxially grown on the SiC substrate, a gap of ~ 0.26 is produced. This gap decreases as the sample thickness increases and eventually approaches zero when the number of layers exceeds four. We propose that the origin of this gap is the breaking of sublattice symmetry owing to the graphene-substrate interaction. We believe our results highlight a promising direction for band gap engineering of graphene.
The unprecedented structural flexibility and diversity of inorganic frameworks of layered hybrid halide perovskites (LHHPs) rise up a wide range of useful optoelectronic properties thus predetermining the extraordinary high interest to this family of
materials. Nevertheless, the influence of different types of distortions of their inorganic framework on key physical properties such as band gap has not yet been quantitatively identified. We provided a systematic study of the relationships between LHHPs band gaps and six main structural descriptors of inorganic framework, including interlayer distances (dint), in-plane and out-of-plane distortion angles in layers of octahedra ({theta}in,{theta}out), layer shift factor (LSF), axial and equatorial Pb-I bond distances (dax,deq). Using the set on the selected structural distortions we realized the inverse materials design based on multi-step DFT and machine learning approach to search LHHPs with target values of the band gap. The analysis of calculated descriptors band gap dependences for the wide range of generated model structures of (100) single-layered LHHPs results in the following descending order of their importance:dint > {theta}in > dax > LSFmin > {theta}out > deq > LSFmax, and also implies a strong interaction value for some pairs of structural descriptors. Moreover,we found that the structures with completely different distortions of inorganic framework can have similar band gap, as illustrated by a number of both experimental and model structures.
The coherence of collective modes, such as phonons, and their modulation of the electronic states are long sought in complex systems, which is a cross-cutting issue in photovoltaics and quantum electronics. In photovoltaic cells and lasers based on m
etal halide perovskites, the presence of polaronic coupling, i.e., photocarriers dressed by the macroscopic motion of charged lattice, assisted by terahertz (THz) longitudinal optical (LO) phonons, has been intensely studied yet still debated. This may be key for explaining the remarkable properties of the perovskite materials, e.g., defect tolerance, long charge lifetimes and diffusion length. Here we use the intense single-cycle THz pulse with the peak electric field up to $E_{THz}=$1000,kV/cm to drive coherent band-edge oscillations at room temperature in CH$_3$NH$_3$PbI$_3$. We reveal the oscillatory behavior dominantly to a specific quantized lattice vibration mode at $omega_{mathrm{LO}}sim$4 THz, being both dipole and momentum forbidden. THz-driven coherent dynamics exhibits distinguishing features: the room temperature coherent oscillations at $omega_{mathrm{LO}}$ longer than 1 ps in both single crystals and thin films; the {em mode-selective} modulation of different band edge states assisted by electron-phonon ($e$-$ph$) interaction; {em dynamic mode splitting} controlled by temperature due to entropy and anharmonicity of organic cations. Our results demonstrate intense THz-driven coherent band-edge modulation as a powerful probe of electron-lattice coupling phenomena and provide compelling implications for polaron correlations in perovskites.
We report on the energy spectrum of electrons in twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) obtained by the band-unfolding method in the tight-binding model. We find the band-gap opening at particular points in the reciprocal space, that elucidates the drastic
reduction of the Fermi-level velocity with the tiny twisted angles in tBLGs. We find that Moir`e pattern caused by the twist of the two graphene layers generates interactions among Dirac cones, otherwise absent, and the resultant cone-cone interactions peculiar to each point in the reciprocal space causes the energy gap and thus reduced the Fermi-level velocity.
Sub-angstrom Co coverage, being deposited on BiSbTeSe2(0001) surface at 200-330 C, opens a band gap at the Dirac point, with the shift of the Dirac point position caused by RT adsorbate pre-deposition. Temperature dependent measurements in 15-150 K r
ange have shown no band gap width change. This fact indicates the nonmagnetic nature of the gap which may be attributed to the chemical hybridization of surface states upon the introduction of Co adatoms, which decrease crystallographic symmetry and eliminate topological protection of the surface states.
