Perovskite holds great significance in numerous fields, such as optoelectronic devices. Its rich structure, adjustable band gap, and good stability make it a promising material. Given the need to enhance the photoelectric efficiency of perovskite, clarifying the underlying mechanism is of utmost importance. The Monte Carlo method emerges as a powerful tool that provides strong support for exploring this mechanism. This paper aims to offer a brief introduction to the Monte Carlo method and its development and expound on its application in perovskite research. It is applied in multiple aspects, including perovskite magnetism. By simulating the magnetic properties of perovskite materials, researchers can gain insights into the magnetic behavior and its influence on the overall performance. Additionally, in the area of ultrafast dynamics, the Monte Carlo method helps to understand the rapid processes that occur in perovskite materials, providing valuable information for improving their response times. Moreover, it is used for calculating exciton binding energy, which is essential for understanding the optical and electrical properties of perovskite. Through these applications, the Monte Carlo method contributes significantly to the advancement of perovskite research and the development of more efficient perovskite-based devices.
