Abstract

The results of the linear thermal expansion studies on (CH3NH3)5Bi2Br11 single crystals in the temperature range 60–340 K are presented. The thermal anomaly in the vicinity of 77 K is assigned to the phase transition classified as close to first order type. The pyroelectric measurements of (CH3NH3)5Bi2Br11 were carried out in the range of 45–320 K along the aand c-axis. The step-like change in the spontaneous polarization along the a-axis at 77 K indicates a discontinuous character of ferroelectric transition.
