研究目的
To investigate the strain-induced structural phase transition, electric polarization, and unusual electric properties in photovoltaic materials CsMI3 (M = Pb, Sn).
研究成果
The study reveals that epitaxial strains can induce various structural phases in CsMI3 (M = Pb, Sn) films, including ferroelectric and paraelectric phases. The polarization mechanisms differ between phases, with contributions from B-position cations or I ions. Unusual electronic properties under epitaxial strains are also identified, suggesting potential applications in optoelectronic devices. The findings broaden the understanding of phase transitions in films and encourage further experimental investigations.
研究不足
The study is computational and relies on theoretical models, which may not fully capture all experimental conditions and material behaviors. The phase diagrams and properties are predicted based on DFT calculations, which may have limitations in accurately describing certain electronic and structural properties.
