Unusual experimental observations of halide perovskites (HaPs) are often explained by polaronic effects. However, the standard polaron picture in its simplest form cannot properly rationalize some of the key carrier-transport features of HaPs. We propose to augment it by a complementary concept based on dynamic disorder [1], taking into account the slow, anharmonic lattice dynamics and incoherent nature of carrier relaxation in HaPs. This approach can be tackled computationally in the framework of a tight-binding (TB) model [2], allowing for modeling large-scale system sizes and temperature-dependent optoelectronic properties. We demonstrate that in this way, we can, e.g., elucidate on the influence of dynamic disorder around room temperature on the band gaps in a variety of HaPs.
