Ferroelectric large polarons

Nature Materials volume 17, pages 379–381 (2018)Cite this article

Subjects

Kiyoshi Miyata and X.-Y. Zhu analyse the ferroelectric-like dielectric response of lead halide perovskites in the terahertz region and discuss the potential role of polar nanodomains in accounting for the defect tolerance and low recombination rates of these materials.
