Phase diagrams of incommensurate ferroelectric NH₄HSeO₄: phenomenological treatment

The phenomenological analysis of the pressure-temperature (P −T ) phase diagram of NH₄HSeO₄ crystals is presented. It is shown that the disagreement between the experimental results and the theory may be removed assuming that the coefficient of the Landau free-energy expansion κ at the gradient te...

Zusammenfassung:The phenomenological analysis of the pressure-temperature (P −T ) phase diagram of NH₄HSeO₄ crystals is presented. It is shown that the disagreement between the experimental results and the theory may be removed assuming that the coefficient of the Landau free-energy expansion κ at the gradient term (dq/dz)(dq∗/dz) changes the sign in the experimental range of pressures. According to the present model the triple point observed in NH₄HSeO₄ at PK ≈ 455 MPa, TK ≈ 236 K may be considered as artificial points which result from the limitation of experimental resolution. Therefore, even above PK there still exist two very close (unresolved) lines of the incommensurate phase transitions.
