    Figures & Tables(6)
    (a) XRD patterns and (b) normalized ultraviolet–visible absorption spectra of organic–inorganic perovskite MA1−xFAxPbI3 (x=0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8); inset is the SEM image of MA0.2FA0.8PbI3.
    (a) OA Z-scan results for MA1−xFAxPbI3 (x=0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8) at 1.0 GW/cm2; (b) OA Z-scan results for MA0.2FA0.8PbI3 at I0=1.0 GW/cm2 (squares); 1.5 GW/cm2 (circles); and 3.0 GW/cm2 (diamonds).
    (a) fs-TA spectra of MA0.2FA0.8PbI3 at different probe-delayed times following the 1300 nm laser excitation with an energy density of 2.0 GW/cm2. (b) Kinetic profiles of 775 nm bleaching recovery. Inset is a schematic of proposed band structure of MA0.2FA0.8PbI3, showing the dual VBs that give rise to the photoinduced bleaching at 486 and 775 nm.
    (a) Doping concentration x-dependent nonlinear absorption coefficient β and saturation intensity Isat for MA1−xFAxPbI3 (x=0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8); (b) excitation-intensity-dependent normalized transmittance for MA1−xFAxPbI3 (x=0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8).
    (a), (b) Structure of MA (methylammonium) and FA (formamidinium) cations. Unit cell structure of (c) MAPbI3 and (d) FAPbI3. Iodine (purple) at cell corners, carbon (black), nitrogen (brown), and hydrogen (light green). NH–I hydrogen bonds are shown as blue lines.
