Potassium sodium (2R,3R)-tartrate tetrahydrate: the paraelectric phase of Rochelle salt at 105 K
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rochelle salt, K(+)·Na(+)·C(4)H(4)O(6) (2-)·4H(2)O, is known for its remarkable ferroelectric state between 255 and 297 K. The current investigation, based on data collected at 105 K, provides very accurate structural information for the low-temperature paraelectric form. Unlike the ferroelectric form, there is only one tartrate molecule in the asymmetric unit, and the structure displays no disorder to large anisotropic atomic displacements.

Free radical products in X-irradiated Rochelle salt: low temperature ENDOR and DFT studies
Single crystals of Rochelle salt, [ OOC—CHOH—CHOH—COO , Na + , K + ]∙4H2O, Xirradiated at 10 K, have been examined using EPR, ENDOR and EIE spectroscopic techniques to characterize the radiation induced radicals stable at that temperature and their reactions upon warming. The one-electron gain product was observed and from the hyperfine interaction with a β-proton it was unambiguously centred a...
متن کاملSalt Tolerance in Rice Cultivars and Changes in Sodium and Potassium Ions
Salinity is an environmental stress that limits growth and development in plants. Due to high salinity in Khuzestan soils it is necessary to identify cultivars with appropriate yield that are compatible with Khuzestan conditions. This experiment was done to evaluate three rice cultivars for salinity tolerance at seedling stage by measuring the absorption of sodium and potassium ions and the rat...
متن کاملInfluence of Relaxing Defects on the Paraelectric-Ferroelectric Phase Transitions of Rochelle Salt
It is well known that different types of crystal defects influence the static and dynamic behaviour of the dielectric polarization of Rochelle salt crystals. Particularly strong effects appear near the paraelectric-ferroelectric phase transitions. In this paper it is shown that a slightly modified relaxing defect cell model which has been developed [1] in order to explain the narrow central pea...

The crystal structure of the high-temperature paraelectric phase of Rochelle salt (K(+)·Na(+)·C4H4O6 (2-)·4H2O) at 308 K has been reinvestigated using synchrotron X-ray diffraction with refinement parameters R(int) = 0.0123, final (shift/e.s.d.)max = 0.019, R 1(all) = 0.0371 and wR 2(all) = 0.0608. The application of a new gas-flow sample cell designed to control both temperature and relative h...

In order to study of the effect of priming and salinity on physiological and chemical characteristics of wheat(Triticum aestivum L.), an experiment was carried out at the Experimental Farm of Shiraz University. Results showedthat primed plants significantly reduced its gas exchanges by accelerating senescence under a series of salt stress,which became more serious along with the increasing of s...
