Limits of the phonon quasi-particle picture at the cubic-to-tetragonal phase transition in halide perovskites

Abstract The soft modes associated with continuous-order phase transitions are associated with strong anharmonicity. This leads to the overdamped limit where the phonon quasi-particle picture can break down. However, this limit is commonly restricted to a narrow temperature range, making it difficul...
