AbstractThe crystal structure of [4-C2H5-C6H4NH3]2ZnBr4 (1) has been determined at 150(2) K: triclinic, P1̅, a=724.82(2), b=1194.20(4), c=1322.26(4) pm, α=74.151(3), β=80.887(3), γ=80.434(3)°, and Z=2. There are two crystallographically independent cations in the unit cell of 1: one has its benzene ring perpendicular to the crystallographic a axis of the unit cell and the other one has its benzene ring perpendicular to the c axis. These cations are alternatingly located along the c axis and form organic layers, and the ZnBr4 anions form inorganic layers in between. Zn–Br···H–N hydrogen bonds are formed between cations and anions. In accordance with the crystal structure, four nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) lines of 81Br were observed. The temperature dependence of the 81Br NQR frequencies between 77 and 320 K shows a peculiar feature which is not due to a structural phase transition. The measurement of 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra at around T=340 K indicates a redistribution of cations. The temperature dependence of 81Br NQR frequencies and differential thermal analysis measurements show that [4-C2H5-C6H4NH3]2CdBr4 (2) undergoes a structural phase transition at around 190 K.

Magnetoelastic Interaction

Raman spectra of Ho[Formula: see text]NdxFe(BO3)4 ([Formula: see text], 0.75, 0.5, 0.25) have been studied in temperature range 10–400[Formula: see text]K. Two compositions ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) demonstrate structural phase transition with soft mode restoration. The addition of Nd atoms increases interatomic spacing and decreases the temperature of structural phase transition. The solid solutions ([Formula: see text], 0.5, 0.25) demonstrate the emergence of the peaks corresponding to magnetoelastic interaction below Néel temperature. The order parameter of the magnetic phase transition has been determined. The equal concentrations of holmium and neodymium atoms prevent magnon soft modes condensation caused by exchange interactions in Fe–O–Fe chains are observed. Calculations confirm the data obtained in the experiment.

Symmetry Properties

A structural phase transition from space-group symmetry P21/c to C2/c is reported for NaTaOGeO4 (NTGO). The critical temperature has been located at T c = 116 K, based on the appearance of sharp diffraction maxima at positions h + k = 2n + 1 of reciprocal space on cooling below this temperature. Strongly anisotropic diffuse scattering in sheets normal to [001] is observable for T > T c and persists up to ambient temperature. Similarities to phase transitions observed in other compounds of the titanite structure type are discussed. The symmetry properties of these phase transitions are reassessed on the basis of the structural data available. The primary order parameter is identified with the displacement of the transition metal cation M (M = Ta in NTGO) away from the centre of symmetry that it nominally occupies in the paraphase. The order parameter transforms as the Y_{2}^{-} representation. The anisotropic diffuse scattering is attributed to the one-dimensional correlation of local M displacements parallel to the direction of chains of trans-corner-sharing MO6 octahedra. The critical temperatures of the isomorphous phase transitions in various titanite-type compounds depend linearly on the squared transition-metal displacement measured in the ordered P21/c phase.

Understanding microscopic processes in materials and devices that can be switched by light requires experimental access to dynamics on nanometer length and femtosecond time scales. Here, we introduce ultrafast dark-field electron microscopy to map the order parameter across a structural phase transition. We use ultrashort laser pulses to locally excite a 1T-TaS2 (1T-polytype of tantalum disulfide) thin film and image the transient state of the specimen by ultrashort electron pulses. A tailored dark-field aperture array allows us to track the evolution of charge-density wave domains in the material with simultaneous femtosecond temporal and 5-nanometer spatial resolution, elucidating relaxation pathways and domain wall dynamics. The distinctive benefits of selective contrast enhancement will inspire future beam-shaping technology in ultrafast transmission electron microscopy.
