An A-site mixed-ammonium solid solution perovskite series of [(NH2 NH3 )x (CH3 NH3 )1-x ][Mn(HCOO)3 ] (x=1.00-0.67)

Abstract

The A-site mixed-ammonium solid solutions of metal-organic perovskites [(NH2 NH3 )x (CH3 NH3 )1-x ][Mn(HCOO)3 ] (x=1.00-0.67) exhibit para- to ferroelectric diffuse phase transitions with lowered transition temperatures from x=1.00 to 0.67. These properties are due to the decreased framework distortion and polarization in their low temperature ferroelectric phases caused by the increased CH3 NH3 (+) concentration.

Keywords: dielectric properties; manganese; metal-organic perovskites; phase transitions.
