Observation of a Polar Compound with Halide Ordering in the Compositional Series (CH 3 NH 3 ) 2 Te(Br x Cl 1– x ) 6

Abstract:
Single-crystal samples of compounds in the series (CH3NH3)2Te­(Cl1–x Br x )6 were produced with counter-diffusion crystal growth in silica gels, and new crystal structures are determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. With increasing Br content, the structure transitions from P3̅m1 to P63 mc to R3̅m and finally to Fm3̅m. The compound with x≈0.068 adopts the polar P63 mc space group, and the structure has partially ordered Cl– and Br– ions. The crystals of this compound show distinct piezoelectric domains with different responses by Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM), confirming their polar structure.
