Deterministic Structural Distortion in Mn²⁺-Doped Layered Hybrid Lead Bromide Perovskite Single Crystals.

ABSTRACT: Dilute magnetic doping in wide-bandgap semiconductors has attracted significant interest due to its potential for tailored optical, spintronic, and spin-photonic properties. While extensive research has explored the optical and magnetic properties of these doped systems, the exact nature of dopant-induced structural properties, particularly in high-quality single crystals, requires further investigation. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis of Mn²⁺-doped (BA)₂PbBr₄ (BA=butylammonium) single crystals with well-defined crystal habits and no grain boundaries, enabling controlled investigation into significant crystal deformation as a function of Mn²⁺ incorporation. Structural analysis provides compelling evidence of crystal distortion, manifested by a
