Chemical diversity encoded in symmetry: universal distortion rules and design principles for perovskites
Abstract
perovskites across oxides, fluorides, halides and chalcogenides, we establish robust symmetry principles governing composition-structure relationships. Unlike empirical descriptors or non-analytical machine learning approaches, our framework provides quantitative, physics-based design rules for engineering functional properties. This work expands Landau theory into chemical space, creating a universal platform for understanding and designing functional materials, with implications extending beyond perovskites to other distorted crystal structures.
