Critical behaviour of the specific heat calculated using the Raman frequencies of the lattice and internal modes near the lambda-phase transition in NH4Br

2007-05-27
We calculate here the specific heat of NH4Br using our Raman frequency shifts for the lattice mode Of nu(7) TA (56 cm(-1)) and the internal mode Of nu(2) (1684 cm(-1)) near its lambda-phase transition (T-lambda = 234 K, P = 0). By analyzing our Raman frequency shifts, values of alpha = 0. 19 (T < T-lambda, and T > T-lambda) for the lattice mode, and alpha = 0.45 (T < T-lambda) and alpha = 0.57 (T > T-lambda) for the internal mode, are used as the values of the critical exponent for the specific heat to predict its critical behaviour based on an Ising model near the lambda-phase transition in NH4Br. The specific heat which we calculate here using our frequencies of both Raman modes, agrees well with the observed specific heat Cp near the lambda-phase transition in NH4Br. Some discrepancy occurring in the specific heat above T-lambda, due to the lattice mode is explained within the framework of an Ising pseudospin-phonon coupled model for NH4Br.

Resonant frequency shifts related to the elastic constants near the alpha-beta transition in quartz
Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Elsevier BV, 2019-03-05)
The resonant frequency shifts of vibrational modes are related to the elastic constants at various temperatures for the alpha-beta transition in quartz (T-c = 573.0 degrees C for alpha-quartz and 574.3 degrees C for beta-quartz). This correlation is constructed on the basis of the spectroscopic modifications of the Pippard relations near the alpha-beta transition in quartz by using the observed data from the literature.
Calculation of the Raman frequencies using volume data close to the tricritical and second order phase transitions in NH4Cl
Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Elsevier BV, 2009-04-30)
We calculate here the Raman frequencies of the v(5) TO(174 cm(-1)) and v(2) (1708 cm(-1)) modes as a function of temperature in the region of the tricritical (P = 1.6 kbar) and the second order (P = 2.8 kbar) phase transitions in NH4Cl. This calculation of the Raman frequencies is performed through the mode Gruneisen parameter by using the experimental length-change data obtained at zero pressure where the NH4Cl crystal exhibits a weakly first order phase transition (T-lambda = 242 K). The predicted Raman f...
Raman bandwidths calculated for the librational ( a -phase) and internal (8, d loc and d phases) modes in solid N 2 using pseudospin-phonon coupling (PS) and energy-fluctuation (EF) models
Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Elsevier BV, 2020-10-01)
This study gives the calculation of the Raman bandwidths using the models of the pseudospin-phonon coupling (PS) and energy fluctuation (EF) where the Raman frequency calculated from the molecular field theory, is considered as the order parameter close to the phase transitions in nitrogen. In particular, we study the temperature dependence of the Raman bandwidths and frequency shifts of the Eg librational mode (zero pressure) and the internal modes of and (at various pressures) for the solid nitrogen by ...
Pippard relations modified by the Raman frequency shifts for the phases I and II in NH4I
Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (Elsevier BV, 2009-04-30)
Pippard relations in terms of the frequency shifts of the v(7) (40 cm(-1)) lattice mode, are established here for the phases I and II in NH4I. The temperature-induced frequency shift, (1/v)(partial derivative v/partial derivative T)(P) is calculated through the isobaric mode Gruneisen parameter gamma(P) using the lattice parameter data at zero pressure for the phases I and II in NH4I. From the frequency shifts, the specific heat C-P is calculated for the phases studied at zero pressure. Also, the pressure-i...
Vibrational frequencies studied as a function of pressure in phase II of solid benzene
Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit; Kilit, E. (Elsevier BV, 2011-05-03)
The pressure dependence of the vibrational frequencies of six Raman modes is analyzed in phase II of solid benzene. The frequency shifts 1/nu(partial derivative nu/partial derivative P)(T) of those Raman modes are deduced from this analysis and they are related to the isothermal compressibility kappa(T)= -(1/V)(partial derivative V/partial derivative P)(T) through a constant isothermal mode Gruneisen parameter gamma(T) in phase II of solid benzene. The kappa(T) values predicted here are compared with the ka...
