Abstract
The hysteresis and dynamics of the phase transition of the perovskite salt [Pb(ii)I42-,(C12H25NH 3+)2] is shown to be significantly modified when strongly coupled to the vacuum field inside a micro-cavity. The transition barrier is increased and the hysteresis loop is enlarged, demonstrating the potential of controlling the electromagnetic environment of a material. © 2014 the Partner Organisations.
