Abstract:
Inorganic halide perovskites have attracted interest due to their high efficiency and low cost. Considering the uncertainty of experimental measurements, it was important to predict the upper limit of carrier mobility. In this study, theab initioBoltzmann transport equation, including all electron-phonon interactions, was used to accurately predict the mobilities of CsPbI3, CsSnI3, CsPbBr3, and CsSnBr3. Using the iterative Boltzmann transport equation (IBTE), the calculated mobility for CsPbI3isµ= 512/µ= 379 cm2 V-1 s-1, and Sn-based perovskite exhibited high hole mobility. The longitudinal optical phonons associated with the stretching between halogen anions and divalent metal cations were revealed to be the dominant scattering source for the carriers. Furthermore, the effect of biaxial strain on mobility was investigated. We observed that biaxial compressive strain could improve the mobility of CsPbI3and CsPbBr3. Surprisingly, under a compressive strain of-2%, the mobilities of CsPbI3using IBTE approach were improved toµ= 1176/µ= 936 cm2 V-1 s-1. It was revealed that the compressive strain could decrease the effective mass of CsPbI3and CsPbBr3.

Drift Current:
The drift of charge carriers is started by an external electric field (E). Charged particles, such as electrons and holes, experience an acceleration between collisions with lattice atoms. For electrons, this results in a drift velocity (vd) given by:
