The orthorhombic-to-tetragonal phase transition in perovskite can alter its optical and electronic properties. Here, Li et al. report an investigation of the size dependent orthorhombic-to-tetragonal phase transition and show that the phase transition temperature decreases with reducing microplate thickness.
