Abstract

The self-trapping of holes with the formation of a molecular X2 - anion is a well-established process in metal halide (MX) crystals, but V-center (2X- + h+ X2-) and H-center (X- + Xi- + h+ X2-) defects have not yet been confirmed in halide perovskite semiconductors. The I2 - split-interstitial defect is predicted to be a spin radical in CH3NH3PbI3 with an optically excited state in the semiconductor band gap.
