Abstract:
The concept of ferroelectric polarons is proposed to partially explain the exceptional optoelectronic properties observed in lead halide perovskites (LHPs). It is intriguing but unclear how this proposal, which involves local or transient polarizations, applies in general to 2D LHPs with long-range ferroelectricity. Here, this work presents a pioneering time-domain experimental investigation of polarons in ferroelectric (IA)2(MA)2Pb3Br10 (IMPB; IA is isoamylammonium and MA is methylammonium) using transient absorption spectroscopy. Compared to non-ferroelectric LHPs, IMPB exhibits several distinct polaronic properties closely associated with macroscopic polarizations of ferroelectricity, including a prolonged polaron formation time (≈1.1 ps), a Stark splitting of the bleaching (≈63 meV), and a giant polaron Mott density (≈7.6 × 1018 cm-3). These findings broaden the realm of 2D polaron systems and reveal the decisive role of static/unidirectional polarizations on polaron physics in 2D LHPs.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
