The crystals of (ND_4)_3VO_2F_4 with a high degree of deuteration (~87%) have been grown and a significant (~1.5%) increase in the unit cell volume has been detected. The decrease in the chemical pressure leads to a change in the sequence of phase transitions due to wedging-out of one of the rhombic phases observed in (NH_4)_3VO_2F_4. The thermal physical studies have been carried out and the entropies, deformations, and pressure coefficients related to structural transformations have been determined. The T – p phase diagram has been built and the pressure and temperature boundaries of crystal phase stability have been determined. The dielectric studies demonstrate a nonferroelectric nature of the phase transitions in (ND_4)_3VO_2F_4. The experimental and model entropies are compared. Based on the decrease in the entropy as a result of deuteration, a hypothesis on significant but not limited anharmonism of vibrations of ammonia tetrahedral corresponding to the disordering is proposed.
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.
