| contents | Tetragonal InSeI is an interesting low-dimensional metal chalcohalide due to its composition and anisotropic crystal structure composed of helical chains, which give rise to optoelectronic properties with potential application in photodetectors, optical thermometers, and spintronic devices. However, experimental works lack on the study of its anisotropic or chiral behavior. Here we present the crystal structure of an unreported InSeI polymorph and study its lattice dynamics in bulk crystals and exfoliated nanowires by polarized Raman spectroscopy for two non-equivalent crystallographic planes. We determine the orientation of the helical chains and distinguish between crystallographic planes by linearly polarized measurements, evaluating the angle-dependent intensity of the modes, which allows assigning each mode to its representation. Circularly polarized Raman measurements do not reveal chiral phonons, despite the helical chains and anisotropic crystal structure. These results offer insight into the crystal structure of InSeI, which is fundamental for the fabrication of orientation-dependent optoelectronic and spintronic devices. |
