The temperature dependence of 127I NQR and DSC as well as the crystal structure at room temperature of the title compound were determined. This compound shows a first-order phase transition of an order-disorder type at 245 K. Eight 127I(v1:m = ±1/2 ↔ ±3/2) NQR lines of 79.57, 81.86, 82.56, 83.36, 84.68, 87.72, 88.34, and 88.86 MHz, and corresponding eight 127I(v2: m = ±3/2 ↔±5/2) NQR lines were observed at liquid nitrogen temperature. Three 127I(υi) NQR lines wfth an intensity ratio of 1:1:2 in the order of decreasing frequency were observed just above the transition point and two NQR lines except for the middle-frequency line disappeared around room temperature. This temperature behavior of NQR lines is very similar to that observed in [N(CH3)4]2Hgl4. Another first-order phase transition takes place at 527 K. The structure of the room-temperature phase was redetermined: orthorhombic, Pnma, Z = 4, a = 1342.8(3), b = 975.7(2), c = 1696.5(3) pm. The NQR result of three lines with an intensity ratio of 1:1:2 is in agreement with this structure. The thermal displacement parameters of atoms in both cations and anions are large.

AbstractThe high temperature phases of BiFeO3 have courted much controversy with many conflicting structural models reported, in particular for the paraelectric β-phase. High temperature powder neutron diffraction (PND) experiments indicate that the ferroelectric (R3c) α-phase transforms to the paraelectric β-phase at approximately 820 °C via a first order phase transition. We demonstrate that this phase is unambiguously orthorhombic, adopting the GdFeO3 structure-type with a space group Pbnm. On further heating BiFeO3 undergoes another first order phase transition (β-γ) at approximately 930 °C which is marked by a discontinuous decrease in cell volume consistent with an insulator-metal transition. Close inspection of the PND data show no evidence of any symmetry change, with the postulated γ-phase remaining orthorhombic Pbnm. In addition we present PND and impedance spectroscopy data for BiFeO3 which suggest that the so-called ‘Połomska’ transition observed by some authors at approximately 185 °C is not intrinsic.

ABSTRACTBi(III)-containing perovskites Bi1/2Ag1/2TiO3 and Bi(M1/2Ti1/2)O3 (M= Co, Mg, and Ni) were synthesized under oxygen pressure as high as approximately 1 MPa and under a pressure as high as 6 GPa, and the lattice distortions were investigated. It was found that ferroelectric Bi1/2Ag1/2TiO3 may be rhombohedrally distorted. In constrast, Bi(M1/2Ti1/2)O3 (M= Co, Mg, and Ni), the structure of which is different from GdFeO3-type compound, is monoclinically distorted. The ratio of lattice parameters of the monoclinic perovskite-subcell for Bi(M1/2Ti1/2)O3 (M= Co, Mg, and Ni), am/bm is larger than that of GdFeO3-type perovskites, though the tolerance factor is close. In addition, it was found that Bi(Ni1/2Ti1/2)O3 undergoes a first-order phase transition from a GdFeO3-type phase(high-temperature phase) at around 490 K. These results indicate that the Bi3+ character in Bi(III)-containing perovskites strongly influences the structure distortion.

The BaLn2Mn2O7 (Ln = rare earth) has a Sr3Ti2O7-type structure with double block oxygen octahedra belonging to the Ruddlesden-Popper-Type homologous series AO(ABO3)2. In-situ measurement of the phase transition for BaLn2Mn2O7 was performed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and a high-temperature transmission electron microscope (TEM). Two types of transitions were observed in BaPr2Mn2O7: the transition from primitive tetragonal (P42/mnm) to body-centered tetragonal (I4/mmm) at around 400 K and the first-order phase transition at around 1040 K. Multiple phase transitions were also observed in BaEu2Mn2O7, with one from P42/mnm to I4/mmm at around 400 K and another, above 550 K, as a first-order phase transition. The high-temperature phase had a 1.5% lattice mismatch along the c-axis compared with the low-temperature phase. We succeeded in recording for the first time in-situ structural change in BaGd2Mn2O7 as a movie by high-temperature TEM. The high-temperature phase nucleated parallel to the (00l) plane as a layer above 550 K and grew until covering the entire inspected region at around 1023 K. The first-order phase transition was caused by the structural and/or electrical distortion of the layered perovskite structure composed of Jahn-Teller ion Mn3+.

Several substituted acetamides, XyC6H5_ y NHCOCCl3 (X=CH3 , NO2 , or Br and y= 1 or 2) have been synthesized and studied by NQR. The effect of ring substitution on the average υ(35Cl) NQR of the trichloroacetyl group is not substantial, but it affects the crystal structure of the substituted com-pounds. The NQR spectra of XyC6H5-y NHCOCCl 3 (where Xy =4-CH3 , 4-NO2 , and 2,3-(CH3)2) show six 35Cl NQR frequencies, each indicating the presence of two molecules in their respective asym-metric units. The temperature dependence of υ(35Cl) NQR of N-(4-methylphenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroacet-amide reveals that it undergoes a first order phase transition around 205 K. Its spectrum shows six lines up to 205 K and three lines thereafter. The latter triplet part of the spectrum fades out around 250 K due to librational motions in the crystal lattice, as the torsional motions of the CCl3 group are easily excit-ed. The 35Cl NQR spectra of all the methylsubstituted amides have been compared with those of the corresponding chlorosubstituted compounds. Generally there is no systematic variation of the mean val-ues of υ(35Cl) NQR or the trichloroacetyl group with the substituents in the phenyl ring. The ω C-Cl frequencies of the trichloroacetyl group of all the v-substituted N-(phenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroacetamides have been estimated using NQR substituent parameters (k) and the frequencies of N-(phenyl)-2,2,2-tri-chloroacetamide. Agreement between these values and the experimental frequencies is quite good. The υ(35Cl) NQR of these amides has also been correlated with Σki of the substituents. Further υ(35Cl) NQR spectra of mono-and trichloroacetamides have been correlated.

Abstract We study the stochastic background of gravitational waves which accompany the sudden freeze-out of dark matter triggered by a cosmological first order phase transition that endows dark matter with mass. We consider models that produce the measured dark matter relic abundance via (1) bubble filtering, and (2) inflation and reheating, and show that gravitational waves from these mechanisms are detectable at future interferometers.
