Rotor lattice model of ferroelectric large polarons
We present a minimal model of ferroelectric large polarons, which are suggested as one of the mechanisms responsible for the unique charge transport properties of hybrid perovskites. We demonstrate that short-ranged charge–rotor interactions lead to long-range ferroelectric ordering of rotors, which...

| description | We present a minimal model of ferroelectric large polarons, which are suggested as one of the mechanisms responsible for the unique charge transport properties of hybrid perovskites. We demonstrate that short-ranged charge–rotor interactions lead to long-range ferroelectric ordering of rotors, which strongly affects the carrier mobility. In the nonperturbative regime, where our theory cannot be reduced to any of the earlier models, we reveal that the polaron is characterized by large coherence length and a roughly tenfold increase of the effective mass as compared to the bare mass. These results are in good agreement with other theoretical predictions for ferroelectric polarons. Our model establishes a general phenomenological framework for ferroelectric polarons providing the starting point for future studies of their role in the transport properties of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites. |
