Halide perovskites display a rich variety of structural and electronic phenomena that govern their optoelectronic performance. I will first discuss the complex excitonic landscape involving self-trapping in the halide double perovskite Cs2AgBiBr6, modeled using time-dependent density functional theory with non-empirical hybrid functionals. I will then turn to the low-temperature phase of FAPbI3, where large-scale molecular dynamics simulations with a machine-learned interatomic potential reveal kinetic trapping in a metastable structure and a slowing down of formamidinium cation dynamics. This observation is confirmed by comparison with inelastic neutron scattering and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements. Finally, I will discuss the presence of a morphotropic phase boundary in MA1 –xFAxPbI3, characterized by competing octahedral tilt patterns and enhanced electron-phonon coupling.
