Displacive and order–disorder behavior of KDP-type ferroelectrics on the local scale

چکیده
The modified strong dipole–proton coupling (MSDPC) model, which predicted several static and dynamic dielectric properties of KH2PO4 or KDP-type ferroelectrics, was used to investigate the properties of these crystals on the local scale. Results calculated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation show that both order–disorder and displacive characteristics of one PO4 dipole are present in KDP and KD2PO4 (DKDP). These results correlate with experimental data from NMR and neutron scattering studies of local properties. q 2003 Published by Elsevier Ltd. PACS: 77.84.Fa; 77.80.Bh; 61.12.Ld; 76.60.Cq; 76.60.Gv

Molecular dynamics simulation of the soft mode for hydrogen-bonded ferroelectrics
Numerical simulations of dipole dynamics have been studied by employing a recently proposed modified strong dipole proton coupling ~MSDPC! model of the phase transition in the hydrogen-bonded type of ferroelectrics. The obtained results in the form of the spectral density of the polarization fluctuation along the polar axis and along the lateral direction are simulated and correlated with known...
متن کاملDevelopment and application of the modified strong dipole-proton coupling model for KDP-type crystals
The modified strong dipole-proton coupling (MSDPC) model, which predicted several static and dynamic dielectric properties of KDP-type ferroelectrics, was used to investigate local properties of these crystals. The results showed both order-disorder and displacive characteristics of pure KDP and DKDP, as in many other experimental studies (NMR, neutron scattering) of local properties. Paramagne...
متن کاملDynamics of KH2PO4 type ferroelectric phase transitions
2014 We include the configuration energy in Kobayashi’s theory for KDP-type ferroelectric crystals. The theory is then shown to be coherent from the thermodynamical point of view, as the order parameter and the frequency of the associated soft mode vanish at the same temperature. The results show that it is possible to have another kind of mixed ferroelectric, where the displacive phenomenon tr...
متن کاملModified strong dipole-proton coupling model and local properties of EPR probe in the KDP-type ferroelectrics
The modified strong dipole-proton coupling (MSDPC) model, which predicts several static and dynamic dielectric properties of KDP-type ferroelectrics, is used to investigate properties of paramagnetic center SeO4 introduced in KH2PO4 (KDP) and KD2PO4 (DKDP) lattice as a local probe in EPR experiment. Paramagnetic center is treated within MSDPC model as a “soft” impurity, with Aprobe value of the...
متن کاملRaman Spectra of Soft Modes in Ferroelectric Crystals
The interpretation of Raman spectra of soft modes in ferroelectric crystals is not easy because of its over-damped line shape and the complicated temperature dependence near the transition temperature. There exist not a few cases which are difficult to determine the transition type is either order-disorder or displacive type. The main purpose of this paper is to point out the characteristics of...
