In this work, to understand the structure of perovskite materials, we investigate the temperature dependence of optical properties of perovskite from room temperature (300K) to 6K. Unlike typical inorganic semiconductor, in both tetragonal (T>163K) and orthorhombic (T<163K) phases of MAPbI3, the band gap decreases with decrease in temperature. We indicate that this temperature dependence of the band gap is governed by the lattice expansion term instead of the electron-phonon interaction. The exciton linewidth is homogeneously broadened in both phases. The absorption, at the low energy edge of the exciton absorption, increases exponentially with energy, i.e reminiscent of Urbach tail absorption. The Urbach energy which is used to characterize order of structure, is modelled using thermal and static disorder for both phases separately.This work provides important insights to the electronic and structural properties of MAPbI3 based perovskites, and this method is transferable to many related perovskites.
