Lattice dynamics and phase transition in single crystals
Abstract
Here, the vibrational properties of CrI3 single crystals were investigated using Raman spectroscopy and were analyzed with respect to the changes of the crystal structure. All but one mode are observed for both the low-temperature R¯3 and the high-temperature C2/m phase. For all observed modes the energies and symmetries are in good agreement with DFT calculations. The symmetry of a single layer was identified as p¯31/m. In contrast to previous studies we observe the transition from the R¯3 to the C2/m phase at 180 K and find no evidence for coexistence of both phases over a wide temperature range.
