Phonon Driven Ferroelectricity and Raman Active Modes in Hybrid Organic‐Inorganic Perovskites
Ferroelectric domains, a hallmark of ferroelectricity, are studied using temperature‐dependent Raman spectroscopy to uncover characteristic phonons associated with ferroelectric phase transitions in different n‐value HOIPs. Higher n‐value HOIP demonstrate a reduced ferroelectric switching energy barrier, providing valuable insights for optimizing ...
