Halide pervoskites are an important class of semiconducting materials that hold great

vibrational anharmonicity and dynamic disorder in this class of solids. Via a multiscale

Halide pervoskites are an important class of semiconducting materials that hold great promise for optoelectronic applications. In this work we investigate the relationship between vibrational anharmonicity and dynamic disorder in this class of solids. Via a multiscale model parametrized from first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the non-Gaussian lattice motion in halide perovskites is microscopically connected to the dynamic disorder of overlap fluctuations among electronic states. This connection allows us to rationalize the emergent differences in temperature-dependent mobilities of prototypical and compounds across structural phase transitions, in agreement with experimental findings. Our analysis suggests that the details of vibrational anharmonicity and dynamic disorder can complement known predictors of electronic conductivity and can provide structure-property guidelines for the tuning of carrier transport characteristics in anharmonic semiconductors.
