Determining Parameters of Metal-Halide Perovskites Using Photoluminescence with Bayesian Inference by Manuel Kober-Czerny, Akash Dasgupta, Seongrok Seo, Florine M. Rombach, David P. McMeekin, Heon Jin, Henry J. Snaith

“…Finally, we estimate mobility values for vertical charge-carrier transport, which is perpendicular to the plane of the substrate, for all samples using our approach. Since this mobility estimation is derived from charge-carrier diffusion over the length scale of the film thickness and in the vertical direction, it is highly relevant for transport in photovoltaic and light-emitting devices. …”
