The resonance Raman spectra of (nBu4N)[Fe(CN)2TPP] ((nBu4: tetra(n-butyl)ammonium; TPP: m-tetraphenylporphyrin), K3 [Fe(CN)6] and [Fe(C5H5)2]BF4 have been investigated. A molecular electronic Raman (ER) effect at 545 cm-1 is observed for (nBu4N)[Fe(CN)2TPP]. The transition occurs between lower “Γ7” and upper “Γ8” level of the spin-orbit split ground state assuming pseudo-octahedral symmetry. In contrast to earlier studies no ER effect is detected for K3[Fe(CN)6] and [Fe(C5H5)2]BF4. For Raman shifts < 800 cm-1 only one strong Raman line is observed for [Fe(C5H5)2]BF4 at 311 cm-1, assigned to the iron ring stretch designated by ν4 (a1g in D5d). Due to a phase transition of K3[Fe(CN)6], two additional strong vibrational lines at 329 and 352 cm-1 appear in the Raman spectrum taken at 10 K. Their intensities show A "term" behaviour of the resonance Raman effect with overtones and combinations for both lines. These are components of the vibronic combinations with the ν6, ν7, and ν8 modes (t1u in Oh) in the IR spectra, too.

The properties of a two-state chain interacting with a phonon bath is studied in this paper. We discuss the renormalization of the single pseudospin tunneling parameter by phonons' interaction, as well as other pseudospins' correlation. We find that for Ohmic dissipation, the correlation between pseudospins vanishes and the phonons' interaction induces the localization–delocalization transition. For our discussed super-Ohmic dissipation, the phonons' interaction only reduces the tunneling parameter and does not induce phase transition. In this case the pseudospins' correlation has its effect and reduces the tunneling parameter at weak coupling. In addition, some application of our results is also discussed.

ABSTRACTRelaxors (PZN, in particular) is an important class of self-assembled nanostructure composite ferroelectric oxides (or perovskite) materials. The interesting features associated with the nanoregions/nanodomains required to describe these relaxors give rise to the most relevant device related characteristics and peculiar physical properties in these materials. In addition, they possess astronomical property coefficients by themselves or when modified with lead titanate (PT) forming solid solution. In the past, we conducted temperature dependent Raman scattering studies on solid solution (1−x)PZN−xPT relaxors single crystals with varying composition; x = 0.02, 0.085, and 0.11. These studies were performed to obtain relevant information about lattice/phonon dynamics for matching the application criteria such as electromechanical actuators. We showed that the sharp structural phase transition occurs at or near 460 K which is a first-order transition by fitting two spectroscopic variables in Raman spectra for one of the representative bands occurring at 277 cm−1. Besides structural phase transition, polarization mechanism for the unpoled (x = 0.02) and poled (x = 0.05) specimens is also investigated to understand the polarization mechanism in relaxors using Raman spectroscopy. The difference in the case of poled specimen is accounted for by the influence of residual electric field. Poling also suggested an enhanced local ordering and the increase in the volume of the polar nano-regions. In the present report, we attempted to determine the nanopolar region size and distribution using the above mentioned temperature dependent Raman spectra. We discuss the most suitable mathematical form of nanodomain size distribution for such inhomogeneous material is log-normal and it is bimodal depending upon the temperature regime in addition to composition. These studies helped to determine the size distribution of nanoscopic embodiments in relaxor ferroelectrics using Raman spectroscopy as a function of temperature which is a dynamical phenomenon.

The donor and acceptor molecules self-assemble into a helical morphology under the effect of polar solvent. By controlling the temperature to induce phase transition, the co-crystal undergoes predictable crystal breaking or untwisting.

A new spectral species of the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium has been observed below pH 3.2. The formation of this new species is temperature-dependent and is favoured by increasing temperature up to the physiological range of the organism. The rate of formation at pH 3.0 and 22 degrees C is 7.9 × 10-3s-1. The spectral distribution and temperature-dependence of the new species suggest that it may be phototransiet O, stabilized by low pH. Flash-photolytic experiments in the pH range 7.2-2.7 show a pH-dependence corresponding to the static events and are consistent with a single protonation of bacteriorhodopsin below pH 3.22. These results can also be interpreted in terms of the stabilization of phototransient O at low pH. The temperature-dependence of the formation of the acid-induced species may reflect a relationship with the phase transition of the membrane.

Diphenylalanine microtubes have remarkable physical properties that allow one to use them in electronics. In this work, we measured polarised temperature-dependent Raman spectra in self-assembled diphenylalanine microtubes grown from the solution. We observed the anomalous temperature behaviour of the Raman lines. Their temperature changes were minimal, which required a significant improvement in the resolution and stability of Raman measurements. The anomalies in the behaviour of the spectra at about 178 K, 235 K, 255 K, 278 K, 296 K, 398 K and 412 K were observed. The structural phase transition at 398 K is irreversible. This transition is associated with the release of water molecules from nanochannels. The irreversible phase transition has a temperature range of about 10 K.

The crystalline structure of the hexagonal Ba (Ti0.95Fe0.05)O3−δ(BTF) ceramic were directly measured using a temperature-dependent XRD technique. Different from the traditional structural transitions of rhombohedral-orthorhombic (−90 °C), orthorhombic-tetragonal (−10 °C), and tetragonal-cubic (i.e., the Curie temperatureTC= 130 °C) for BaTiO3, the phase transition from hexagonal to any phase above for BTF cannot occur atTCeven up to 300 °C. Increasing temperature cannot give rise to the occupation of oxygen vacancies by environmental oxygen absorbed. The lattice electro-neutrality maintained by Fe3+-VO-Fe3+defect complexes is predominant in BTF. This experiment clarifies the phase stability of the hexagonal perovskite structure aboveTCup to 300 °C.
