Structural Symmetry and Phase Transitions in Perovskite CsPbBr$_3$
2020
We propose new spacegroups for the photovoltaic material CsPbBr$_3$ based on synchrotron-based single-crystal and powder diffraction measurements. As opposed to existing structural assignments for CsPbBr$_3$, the proposed spacegroups supports the existence of a ferroelectric state at room temperature, which was recently reported for nanoscale forms of this material. Moreover, the first-order nature found for both the transition at ~360 K and that at ~400 K is expected to impact electron transport and optical properties of this system significantly. Additional isostructural phase transitions are also found at low temperature.
