Abstract
The ferroelectric phase transition at ${T}_{C}=340\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ in (${{\mathrm{C}}_{6}{\mathrm{H}}_{5}{\mathrm{CH}}_{2}{\mathrm{CH}}_{2}{\mathrm{NH}}_{3}{)}_{2}\mathrm{CuCl}}_{4}$ is studied by means of temperature-dependent low-frequency Raman scattering, focusing on the coupling of a low-energy librational mode to the order parameter of the transition. Analysis of the symmetry and characteristics of this mode links the dipolar order to the tilt angle of the organic cations. The thermal evolution of the Raman spectrum demonstrates the displacive component of the phase transition in combination with order-disorder phenomena and the importance of the organic-inorganic interplay to the physical properties of the compound. The ferroelectric properties investigated here can be generalized to the family of layered organic-inorganic hybrids.
