Organic-inorganic halide perovskites have emerged as promising materials for next-generation optoelectronic devices due to their exceptional photophysical properties. Among them, alpha-formamidinium lead tri-iodide (alpha-FAPbI3) with a cubic symmetry (space group of ) has garnered attention as a potential absorber in solar cells for its narrow bandgap and superior stability. The fundamental mechanisms governing its high performance have yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, we demonstrate
