A multiaxial electrical switching in a one-dimensional organic–inorganic (pyrrolidinium)2Cd2I6ferroelectric and photoluminescent crystal
Ferroelectric materials exhibiting more than one polar phase are very attractive in terms of application. The advantage of such materials is temperature-dependent switching between two different ferroelectric states. Here we report on the discovery of a unique, continuous ferroelectric – ferroelectric transformation in (C4H10N)2[Cd2I6], PCdI at 220 K. Thermal measurements suggest that phase transition is close to the continuous one. Both phases belong to the same polar monoclinic Cc space group. Temperature-variable X-ray diffraction measurements of single crystals confirm the polar nature of the two phases (I and II). The anionic network is in the form of [Cd2I6]2− 1D chains, with pyrrolid…
