| contents | While all of the polymorphs of pure NH$_4$I and KI are non-polar, we identify that (NH$_4$)$_{0.95}$K$_{0.05}$I is ferroelectric and (NH$_4$)$_{0.87}$K$_{0.13}$I and (NH$_4$)$_{0.83}$K$_{0.17}$I are pyroelectric through measurements of their pyroelectric current and complex dielectric constant. The order to disorder phase transitions occur near 245 K. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that the proton orbitals of the NH$_4$$^+$ continue to become ordered in the ground state in the (NH$_4$)$_{1-x}$K$_x$I system up to x <= 0.17. The polar phases are proposed to stem from K$^+$ ions disrupting the symmetry of proton-orbital-lattice interactions between the NH$_4$$^+$ and I$^-$ ions. Our work introduces a new pathway for the ordered phases of ammonium-based compounds to potentially become ferroelectric. |
