Abstract

Lead iodide is a layered structure that experiences polytypism. The 2H polytype contains high rates of iodine vacancies but retains its stoichiometry. This characteristic feature makes it potentially useful for many practical applications. The hopping of iodine ions among vacancies is the dominant motion in the 2H polytype. We present a preliminary 127I and 207Pb solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and spin–lattice relaxation study of the 2H polytype below 400 K. We present reasonable models for the solid-state NMR results in terms of the effects of iodine hopping and lattice vibrations.
