Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites have gathered much attention owing to their unprecedented success in photovoltaics. To unravel the secrets to this success, we have studied the ultrafast dynamics of lead halide perovskites using heterodyne-detected transient grating and 2D spectroscopy in thin films for tetragonal (room temperature) and orthorhombic phases (T = 20 K). Our measurements capture the different ultrafast exciton dynamics in two phases of perovskite. In addition, we distinctly observe the ground and excited state vibrational modes corresponding to organic and inorganic sub-lattices in two phases. The interplay of strongly coupled dominant vibrational modes to ultrafast carrier generation process will be discussed. To rationalize our observations, we have employed density functional theory (DFT) predicting changes in the vibrational observations highlighting the importance of interaction between organic cation and inorganic sub-lattice in stabilization of charges upon photoexcitation.
