β¦ Synopsis
The polarization switching in methylammonium chlorobismuthate, (CH 3 NH 3 ) 5 Bi 2 Cl 11 , single crystal was investigated by optical observations of the domain structure and switching current registration. It is shown that defects introduced during crystal growth influence the polarization switching kinetics. For the analysis of switching current data the statistical Avrami model of phase transformation kinetics was employed. Direct observation of the domain structure enabled us to verify the assumptions of the Avrami model in the case of non-uniform (CH 3 NH 3 ) 5 Bi 2 Cl 11 crystals. It is found that application of this model to non-uniform crystals can yield physically unclear values of some fitting parameters; e.g. the effective domain growth dimension is not constant with respect to the electric field.

Raman spectra of (DMAPCC) single crystals were studied over the range 10-3200 cm-1 Cl 11 between 100 and 360 K. The changes in the external and internal mode region were observed and characterized. In particular, the symmetric stretching vibration of the dimethylammonium (DMA) group at 890 cm-1 spl
A T1 minimum at 216 K for Larmor frequency 90 MHz has been detected and for this minimum no analogous T, minimum according to the known quadratic dependence of the Larmor frequency 25 MHz is found. The analysis leads to the conclusion that this T1 minimum is a result of the relaxation of protons via
