Incommensurate-commensurate phase transitions are analyzed using a model derived from the normal coordinate Hamiltonian for a crystal lattice. The Hamiltonian consists of a local self-potential and effective third-neighbor interactions. Free energies of various modulated phases are calculated with a mean-field approximation under the condition that two quantum states within the local potential are important at low temperature. It is demonstrated that the quantum effect works to stabilize the incommensurate phase rather than the commensurate phase. Even at zero temperature, the incommensurate phase can occupy a finite region in the phase diagram. This situation is similar to quantum paraelectricity in some ferroelectrics, and can be expected as a general feature of modulated structures of dielectric crystals. The phase diagram for ferroic first-and third-neighbor interactions but antiferroic second-neighbor interactions is constructed theoretically and is discussed in detail to explain qualitatively the low-temperature behavior of some ferroelectric crystals.

“…Therefore, we are convinced ourselves with only three effective interactions for simplicity.Finally, let us comment on the phase transition of Rb 2 ZnI 4 . The crystal system is monoclinic with the formula unit of Z=2 40). It transforms from the disordered phase to the incommensurate phase with the modulation wave vector…”
