The Raman frequency of a soft mode (238 cm -1 ) is analyzed as a function of pressure at 20 o C for NH4F using the experimental data from the literature. This analysis is performed for the pressure dependence of the Raman frequency shifts (1)(P)T of the soft mode close to the I -III, III -V and V -VI transitions in NH4F. The frequency shifts increase as the pressure increases toward the phase transitions at T = 20 o C (293 K) in this ammonium structure. From the frequency shifts of the soft mode studied, the pressure dependence of the isothermal compressibility is predicted through the mode Grüneisen parameter. Our calculated isothermal compressibility can be compared with the experimental measurements.
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.
