The hybrid metal halide perovskites have shown enormous promise for optoelectronic devices including efficient photovoltaics, however their insensitivity to defects has remained puzzling. Polaron correlations have been cited as a possible means to protect charge carriers from defect scattering. In this paper, we show time-resolved THz spectroscopy measurements are capable of directly probing polaron correlations via an intra-band coherent beat arising from center-of-mass quasi-particle motion and the internal motion of charge within its self-induced potential.
