  FAPbI
  <sub>3</sub>
   and FA(Mn:Pb)I
  <sub>3</sub>
   perovskite films were prepared and evaluated
   through steady and transient absorption spectroscopy. According to the analysis using Elliot’s model, there were no considerable differences except for the absorption intensity between FAPbI<sub>3</sub> and FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> perovskite films: the value of the optical gap (E<sub>g</sub>) and the position of exciton resonance (E<sub>0</sub>) were the same. The femtosecond transient absorption showed biexponential relaxation properties of the charge carriers, suggesting that biexcitons are more easily generated in FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> than FAPbI<sub>3</sub> perovskite. The generation of biexcitons in FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> was also confirmed by the photon pump fluence dependence. Moreover, we were able to estimate the average number of absorbed photons &lt;N&gt; directly from the photon pump power dependence without needing any further experimental measurements such as photoluminescence. Our findings may offer a new way of understanding photoinduced carrier dynamics in perovskite manganites.

Introduction</title><p>Formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI<sub>3</sub>) has attracted substantial attention [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref1">1</xref>] - [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref12">12</xref>]. The band gap of FAPbI<sub>3</sub> allows for broader absorption of the solar spectrum relative to MAPbI<sub>3</sub>. A composite of FAPbI<sub>3</sub> and MAPbBr<sub>3</sub> layer obtained a power conversion efficiency exceeding 20% [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref6">6</xref>]. To date, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with photo conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of &gt;25% mainly use FAPbI<sub>3</sub>-dominated perovskite as a light absorber due to their superior opto-electrical properties, narrower band gap, longer charge-diffusion length, and better photostability and thermostability [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref12">12</xref>]. Meanwhile, perovskite manganites may provide a useful material platform for new magnetic materials [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref13">13</xref>]. MA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> has been studied by Nafradi et al., and they found that photo-excited electrons melt the local magnetic order in the ferromagnetic photovoltaic MA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref14">14</xref>]. Technologically relevant materials may emerge when magnetic interactions of spins are present and competing to determine the ground state [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref15">15</xref>]. This may provide potential for realizing magnetic bits, information storage, and increased manipulation speed [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref14">14</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref16">16</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref17">17</xref>]. A deeper understanding of charge generation, exciton dissociation, trapping and recombination in photovoltaic manganite perovskites is needed to unravel the operating mechanism.</p><p>In this work, we report on studies examining FAPbI<sub>3</sub> and manganite FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> perovskite films using static and transient absorption spectroscopy to explore charge carrier generation, relaxation, and photon fluence dependence. We used femtosecond transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy to investigate the dynamics of the carriers [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref18">18</xref>]. The measurements were carried out under various pump fluences, and Poisson statistics were used to interpret the data. We found no considerable differences in the optical gap (E<sub>g</sub>) or the position of exciton resonance (E<sub>0</sub>) between FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> and FAPbI<sub>3</sub>. Biexcitons were considered to be more easily generated in FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> than FAPbI<sub>3</sub>. There was a difference in photon pump power dependence between the biexcitons and single excitons generated in FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> and FAPbI<sub>3</sub>, respectively. Meanwhile, we were able to estimate the value of the average number of absorbed photons directly from the pump power-dependence without needing further optical measurements such as photoluminescence (PL) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref18">18</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref19">19</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref20">20</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2. Samples and Measurements</title><p>The fabrication of the FAPbI<sub>3</sub> and FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> thin films with thickness of about 400 nm has been carried out through two-step sequential deposition and solvent engineering representative of wet processes that can yield perovskite films for high-performance perovskite solar cells. FAPbI<sub>3</sub> films were synthesized as described in previous publications [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref6">6</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref10">10</xref>].

Results and Discussion</title><p>The absorption spectrum in direct semiconductors near the bandgap can be described using the Elliott formula [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref21">21</xref>] - [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref26">26</xref>], where the contributions of discrete exciton transitions are added to the continuum transitions [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref22">22</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref23">23</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref25">25</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref26">26</xref>]. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>(a) shows the absorption spectrum of a FAPbI<sub>3</sub> film near the optical gap</p><p>at room temperature. We have analyzed the absorption spectra in this study using Elliot’s formula:</p><p>A ( ω ) = A 0 ⋅ θ ( ℏ ω − E g ) ⋅ ( π e π x sinh ( π x ) )     + A 0 ⋅ R e x ∑ n e x = 1 ∞ 4 π n e x 3 ⋅ δ ( ℏ ω − E g + R e x / n e x 2 ) (1)</p><p>where A<sub>0</sub> is a constant related to the transition matrix element; ω is the frequency of light, θ is the step function; E<sub>g</sub> is the bandgap; x is defined as R e x 1 / 2 / ( ℏ ω − E g ) 1 / 2 , where R<sub>ex</sub> is the exciton binding energy; n<sub>ex</sub> is the principal quantum number; and δ denotes a delta function. To account for inhomogeneous broadening, the continuum and excitonic part of Equation (1) are convolved with Gaussian functions with standard deviations. The standard deviation of the exitonic part Gaussian function was found to be 23.9 meV. A model based on Elliott’s formula reproduced the spectra very well. In <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>(a), an excitonic absorption peak appears just below the bandgap energy, while on the high-energy side of the exciton peak, the absorbance shows a plateau with a slight slope, which is attributed to the continuum contribution described by the first term of the right-hand side of Equation (1). From the best fitting of the model, we extracted that the exciton resonance (E<sub>0</sub>) is centered at 1.589 eV. The exciton resonance of 1.589 eV is smaller than that (1.631 eV) in MaPbI<sub>3</sub> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref26">26</xref>] ). The bandgap (E<sub>g</sub>) of continuum transitions was found at 1.60 eV, which is consistent with recently reported values (1.48 - 2.43 eV) for FAPbI<sub>3</sub> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref3">3</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref12">12</xref>]. The bandgap (E<sub>g</sub>) at 1.60 eV yields an exciton binding energy ( R e x = E g − E 0 ) of 11 meV (which is the same as that (11 meV) in MAPbI<sub>3</sub> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref26">26</xref>]. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>(b) shows the absorbance spectra of FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> films compared with the measurement of FAPbI<sub>3</sub>. The spectra of the MA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> films show no distinguishable difference between them except the reduced intensities with increased Mn concentrations. Elucidating the role of excitons and free carriers in these materials would provide a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that give rise to the exceptional performance of hybrid perovskite-based devices [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref27">27</xref>]. Although the absorption coefficient was smaller, the other parameters were the same. We used the same exciton binding energy (R<sub>ex</sub> = 11 meV) and bandgap (E<sub>g</sub> = 1.60 eV) used for the FAPbI<sub>3</sub> to fit the data [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref9">9</xref>]. Increased Mn content may have caused changes in absorption intensity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref28">28</xref>] - [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref34">34</xref>].</p><p><xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2</xref> shows the relaxation of transient absorption (ΔT/T), which was measured at the power of 0.16 &#181;W for FAPbI<sub>3</sub> and FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> films, normalized at the initial maximum points. The decay essentially reflects the temporal evolution of the charge carrier density while assuming that the carrier mobilities are unchanged [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref35">35</xref>]. The different relaxation pattern suggests that there are both fast (with τ<sub>1</sub>) and slow (with τ<sub>2</sub>) components. Thus, the relaxation of the transmission signals can be fitted to a biexponential decay. Therefore, we used the</p><p>equation, y ( t ) = A 1 e − t τ 1 + A 2 e − t τ 2 + C to analyze the relaxation data [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref18">18</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref36">36</xref>].</p><p>For the FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> sample, we obtained</p><p>y FA ( Mn : Pb ) I 3 ( t ) = 0.108 e − t 362   ps + 0.281 e − t 843   ps + 0.62 for the best fit. For the FAPbI<sub>3</sub> sample, we obtained y FAPbI 3 ( t ) = 0.054 e − t 132   ps + 0.254 e − t 961   ps + 0.7 .</p><p>In semiconductor nanoparticles, one can generate states in which several excitons occupy a volume comparable to or smaller than that of a bulk exciton [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref16">16</xref>]. The fast relaxation is known to be originated from the biexcitons, while the slow relaxation is attributed to single excitons [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref18">18</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref19">19</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref20">20</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref37">37</xref>]. The experimental detection of strongly confined multiexcitons is usually associated with their very short (picoseconds to hundreds of picoseconds) lifetimes, which are limited by nonradiative Auger recombination [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref16">16</xref>]. We aimed to determine the possible existence of trions by assigning triple exponential decays [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref18">18</xref>], but we did not find any success. So, we simplified it to biexponential decay, as opposed to triple exponential decay which includes trions. Therefore, we regarded simply that the intensity of the fast component (A<sub>1</sub>) can be mainly attributed to the biexcitons. Our result suggests that biexcitons are more easily generated in FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> than in FAPbI<sub>3</sub> (since A<sub>1M</sub> = 0.108 &gt;A<sub>1F</sub> = 0.054) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref16">16</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref18">18</xref>].</p><p>To further clarify the origins of the major charge carriers immediately after photoexcitation, we investigated the photon pump fluence dependence of ΔT/T before the relaxation of the photoinduced charges was initiated. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>(a) shows the photoinduced transient absorption (ΔT/T) at different pump powers</p><p>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref18">18</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref36">36</xref>] for early short times (&lt;3 ps) for (a) FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> and (b) FAPbI<sub>3</sub>. The TA signals rise instantaneously after photoexcitation in about ~0.5 ps (which is the proper instrument response time), then reach their peak, at which they are saturated and stable. We only measured for the first 5 ps time scale before the appearance of fast relaxation. For long delays, only single excitons would be left. In <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>(b), the values of ΔT/T are plotted as a function of the excitation laser power, and a fit is presented as a visual guide. It is expected that biexcitons are more easily generated with increasing power in FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub>, while excitons are mainly generated in FAPbI<sub>3</sub>. This is comparable to the behavior of perovskite films with well-defined band edges [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref37">37</xref>].</p><p>To ascertain whether the generated charges in FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> and FAPbI<sub>3</sub> films (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>) are mostly biexciton dominant or exciton dominant, we have used Poisson statistics to analyze the results. According to the Poisson distribution, the probability of exciton (biexciton) generation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref18">18</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref19">19</xref>], P • ( P • • ) in nanocrystals, is described as follows:</p><p>P • ( j e x ) = 1 − e − σ j e x (2)</p><p>P • • ( j e x ) = 1 − e − σ j e x − σ j e x e − σ j e x (3)</p><p>where j<sub>ex</sub> is the excitation photon fluence and σ is the absorption cross-section of the material. The excitation photon fluence j<sub>ex</sub> is determined by the pump power. We presumed that j<sub>ex</sub> is proportional to photon pump power. The value of ΔT/T is related to the photon bleaching (PB) intensity. The PB intensity of excitons (biexcitons) is proportional to the number of excitons (biexcitons) generated in the material. Thus, we can plot ΔT/T related to the generation probability [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref18">18</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref37">37</xref>] of the biexciton in FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> and the exciton in the FAPbI<sub>3</sub> sample, respectively. We therefore presumed that the amplitudes of TA can be expressed using the following equations.</p><p>Δ T / T i n F A ( X ) ∝ P • ( j e x ) = A F A ( 1 − e − S ⋅ X ) (4)</p><p>Δ T / T i n M M ( X ) ∝ P • • ( j e x ) = A M M ( 1 − e − S ⋅ X − S ⋅ X e − S ⋅ X ) , (5)</p><p>where X denotes the “pump power” and X ≡ j e x / k , where k is an unknown factor. We set S ≡ k σ . Thus, S ⋅ X = σ j e x = 〈 N 〉 , the average number of absorbed photons. The subscripts <sub>FA</sub> and <sub>MM</sub> respectively refer to FAPbI<sub>3</sub> and FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> film. A<sub>FA</sub> and A<sub>MM</sub> are unique proportional factors in the FAPbI<sub>3</sub> and FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> samples, respectively.</p><p>Thus, in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>(a) and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>(b), the amplitudes of TA are plotted as a function of the pump power for different values of S. As shown in the log-log plot, only the slope matters in comparing the two different types of charges: biexciton or exciton. We obtained A<sub>MM</sub> = 0.335 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>(a)) and A<sub>FA</sub> = 0.003 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>(b)), and S = 4.5 was obtained to give the best fit for both. In <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>(a), the generated charges in FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> exhibit an increase similar to that of the biexciton amplitude, while the charges in the FAPbI<sub>3</sub> sample show an increase following that of single exciton amplitude ( P • ) in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>(b). This is</p><p>consistent with the implication showing that the biexciton is more dominant in FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub>, which is not the case in FAPbI<sub>3</sub> (as shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2</xref>) at low pump power.</p><p>Finally, in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5</xref>, the normalized ΔT/T was depicted as a function of 〈 N 〉 . To obtain the value of 〈 N 〉 here, we simply calculated S ⋅ X = σ j e x = 〈 N 〉 without the need for any further measurements such as the photon pump fluence dependence of transient photoluminescence [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref18">18</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref20">20</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.114760-ref37">37</xref>].

Conclusion</title><p>In conclusion, FAPbI<sub>3</sub> and FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> perovskite films were prepared and evaluated through steady and transient absorption spectroscopy. There was no considerable variation in the absorption spectrum between the FAPbI<sub>3</sub> and FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> perovskite films, except for the absorption intensity in the steady absorption spectrum. The femtosecond transient absorption showed biexponential relaxation properties of the charge carriers, which suggested that biexcitons are more easily generated in FA(Mn:Pb)I<sub>3</sub> than FAPbI<sub>3</sub> perovskite; the generation of biexcitons was also confirmed by the photon pump fluence dependence. We estimated the average number of absorbed photons 〈 N 〉 directly from the photon pump power dependence without relying on any further experimental measurements such as PL.
