Time-resolved optical spectroscopic techniques typically monitor the evolving population of energy states after photoexcitation; and carrier mobility measurements often require the careful fabrication of full-stack electronic devices. Here, we study carrier dynamics in single-crystal CsPbBr3 using ultrafast THz spectroscopy, a method which is not only sensitive to carrier density but is also a non-contact probe of carrier mobility in bare films. We show that the charge mobility in this highly crystalline material is considerably higher than perovskite thin-films grown by conventional methods. The temperature-dependent photoconductivity reveals strongly non-Drude behaviour in the frequency domain, with strong phonon resonances that support the polaron picture of the soft crystal lattice. We further extend the time-resolved measurements to three-pulse ‘pump-push-probe’ spectroscopy to study hot carrier cooling dynamics which depend on a rich interplay of carrier-phonon and carrier-carrier interactions. Finally, the steady-state fluence-dependent photoluminescence spectra in these controlled-growth lead halide perovskite materials are found to contain features attributed to optical gain.
