Polarized Raman spectra of oriented single crystals of KCIO, performed over a large temperature range (300-800 K) have been used to investigate the mechanism of the 583 K phase transition. It is shown that the transition can be described using an order parameter and a mechanism based on the reorientation of the Clodions is proposed. A Raman study of the plastic phase (above 583 K), using the shape of the bands associated with the internal modes, leads to a measure of the orientational density probability and the orientational self-correlation functions of the perchlorate ions.
Raman spectra of RbHSO, have been recorded in the temperature range from 6 K to the melting point, 480 K. Analysis of the spectra show that the second order phase transition, at 264 K, is of the order-disorder type. NO soft mode was found. The evolution of the v(0-H) mode frequency with temperature, is consistent with a change of orientation of the hydrogen bonds connecting the disordered SO,-O(H) groups. The spectra are also consistent with the existence of a prototype phase which hs3 been assumed to explain the pseudo-orthorhombic symmetry of the paraelectric and ferroelectric phases.
Polarized Raman spectra of single crystals of NaH2PO4.2H20 and NaD2P04.2D20 have been measured as a function of temperature in the wavenumber shift range 10-3600 cm-'. Changes of phonon frequencies due to directional dispersion are found. All the observed bands have been assigned using group theory. The Raman spectra are fully consistent with the presence of strong acidic hydrogen bonds and the existence of a weakly bound water molecule.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
