Abstract: | The ferroelectric phase transition at T(C2) (=370K) in RbHSeO(4) has been studied by (1)H and (87)Rb solid-state NMR. Although not large, the spin-lattice relaxation time, T(1), and the spin-spin relaxation time, T(2), of rubidium and of the alpha- and beta-type protons show distinct change near the phase transition. The intensity of the signal due to the alpha-type protons decreases with increasing temperature, and the intensity of alpha-type protons is quite weak above 330K: at a temperature which is about 40K lower than the phase transition temperature, the ordering of the alpha-type protons occurs. The alpha-type protons in the ferroelectric phase lead to a noticeable change in the proton magnetic resonance spectra. Our study of the (1)H spectra shows that the ferroelectric phase transition in RbHSeO(4) is of order-disorder type and is due to the ordering of protons in hydrogen bonds. |
