Abstract

A study of phase transitions in two-dimensional halide perovskites uncovers distinct thermal and optical pathways through Ginzburg–Landau theory. The work identifies an optically driven metastable tetragonal phase, excited by Higgs phonon modes, offering insights into symmetry-breaking dynamics.
