Giant Electrostriction in Halide Perovskites Revisited With Double‐Modulation Interferometry
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 65, 13 August 2026.A giant electrostrictive effect in lead halide perovskites had been reported previously. This work uses sensitive interferometry to measure the electromechanical response of various halide perovskite samples. The results reveal no intrinsic electrostrictive compression. Instead, the materials expand primarily under an applied electric field as a result
