Discovery of enhanced lattice dynamics in a single-layered hybrid perovskite
Layered hybrid perovskites exhibit emergent physical properties and exceptional functional performances, but the coexistence of lattice order and structural disorder severely hinders our understanding of these materials. One unsolved problem regards how the lattice dynamics are affected by the dimensional engineering of the inorganic frameworks and their interaction with the molecular moieties. Here, we address this question by using a combination of spontaneous Raman scattering, terahertz spectroscopy, and molecular dynamics simulations. This approach reveals the structural dynamics in and out of equilibrium and provides unexpected observables that differentiate single- and double-layered perovskites. While no distinct vibrational coherence is observed in double-layered perovskites, an off-resonant terahertz pulse can drive a long-lived coherent phonon mode in the single-layered system. This difference highlights the dramatic change in the lattice environment as the dimension is reduced, and the findings pave the way for ultrafast structural engineering and high-speed optical modulators based on layered perovskites.

Exciton Fine Structure in 2D Perovskites: The Out‐of‐Plane Excitonic State
2D Ruddlesden‐Popper metal‐halide perovskites feature particularly strong excitonic effects, making them a fascinating playground for studying exciton physics. A complete understanding of the properties of this quasi‐particle is crucial to fully exploit the tremendous potential of 2D perovskites (2DP) in light emission applications. Despite intense investigations, some of the exciton properties remain elusive to date, for example, the energy‐ordering of the exciton states within the so‐called fine structure manifold. Using optical spectroscopy, it demonstrates that in the archetypical 2DP (PEA) 2 PbI 4 , in contradiction to theoretical predictions, the energy of the bright out‐of‐plane exciton state is higher than that of two in‐plane states. Having elucidated the order of exciton fine structure, it determines the g ‐factor of the dark exciton transition, together with the values of the electron and hole g ‐factors in the direction parallel to the c ‐axis of the crystal. In this way, it provides for the first time, a complete picture of the exciton fine structure in (PEA) 2 PbI 4 2DP.
