Recently,
several studies have investigated dielectric properties
as a possible origin of the exceptional optoelectronic properties
of metal halide perovskites (MHPs). In this study we investigated
the temperature-dependent dielectric behavior of different MHP films
at different frequencies. In the gigahertz regime, dielectric losses
in methylammonium-based samples are dominated by the rotational dynamics
of the organic cation. Upon increasing the temperature from 160 to
300 K, the rotational relaxation time, τ, decreases from 400
(200) to 6 (1) ps for MAPb-I3 (-Br3). By contrast,
we found negligible temperature-dependent variations in τ for
a mixed cation/mixed halide FA0.85MA0.15Pb(I0.85Br0.15)3. From temperature-dependent
time-resolved microwave conductance measurements we conclude that
the dipolar reorientation of the MA cation does not affect charge
carrier mobility and lifetime in MHPs. Therefore, charge carriers
do not feel the relatively slow-moving MA cations, despite their great
impact on the dielectric constants.
