Ruddlesden Popper 2D layered hybrid perovskites (HP) are gaining growing importance in optoelectronics, for applications ranging from photovoltaics to lighting, especially due to their improved stability. Despite their success, the dynamics of photocarriers in these materials still need to be assessed. We exploited out technique of ultrafast optical spectroscopy, combining the measurement of differential transmission (DT) and time resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) in the same spot of the sample, to probe 2D HP single crystal (phenethylammonium (PEA)2PbI4). We compared the response of single crystals and thin films under different excitation regimes, under one-photon and two-photon excitation, both resonant and non-resonant [1]. The results that we found in the single crystal show a sharp drop of DT signal in the first picosecond, combined with the constant relation between DT^2 and TRPL decays, compatibly with what already reported in [2]. The phenomenology that we report here can be interpreted as a dissociation of excitons on a sub-ps timescale, bringing to an ultrafast formation of unbound carriers until a situation of equilibrium is reached, that governs the decay of both bright and dark species. The fact that the same behaviour was observed in thin films and single crystals can give an important clue about the real impact of edge states in 2D hybrid perovskites, suggesting that the dynamics in this material may be not governed by extrinsic effects.
