17O NQR Study of the Antiferroelectric Phase Transition in TlH2PO4
(1988) Seliger, J.; Zagar, V.; Blinc, Robert; Schmidt, V. Hugo
The temperature dependence of the 1 7O NQR spectra in TlH2PO4 has been measured using a proton‐1 7 O nuclear quadrupole double resonance technique. The results show that the protons in the short one‐dimensionally linked O1–H1‐‐O1 and O2–H2‐‐O2hydrogen bonds are moving between two equilibrium sites above T c and freeze into one of the off‐center sites below T c . The protons in the asymmetric O3–H3‐‐O4hydrogen bonds are static and ordered above and below T c .
Rb85, Rb87, and O17 nuclear-quadrupole-resonance study of Rb(H1−xDx)2PO4
(1990-09-01) Seliger, J.; Zagar, V.; Blinc, Robert; Schmidt, V. Hugo
The Rb85, Rb87, and O17 nuclear-quadrupole-resonance frequencies and line shapes have been measured in RbH2PO4 and in Rb(H1−xDx)2PO4 (x=0.5,0.7) with the nuclear-quadrupole double-resonance technique. The results show that in the paraelectric phase the Rb+ ions move in a single-site potential, whereas the protons are dynamically disordered between two sites in the O-H...O hydrogen bonds. The ferroelectric phase transition in RbH2PO4 is associated with the freezing out of the proton motion in the O-H...O hydrogen bonds that induces a shift of the Rb+ ions along the ferroelectric axis. In the partially deuterated compounds the O-H...O hydrogen bonds are practically identical to the ones in pure RbH2PO4 and are thus only weakly influenced by the surrounding O-D...O bonds. The O-D...O bonds are, however, significantly more asymmetric and presumably longer than the O-H...O bonds.
