Y. Luspin et al., PHASE-TRANSITIONS IN THE SUPERIONIC PROTONIC CONDUCTOR CSHSEO4 INVESTIGATED BY BRILLOUIN SPECTROSCOPY, Solid state ionics, 80(3-4), 1995, pp. 277-281
A Brillouin investigation in CsHSeO4 has been performed over the tempe
rature range 20-165 degrees C which includes two phase transitions, in
particular the transition to the superionic phase near T-s = 129 degr
ees C. We observed strong discontinuities for elastic constants C-11,
C-22 and C-33 at T-s and a broadening of the Brillouin lines above T-s
. The results are discussed on the basis of a linear coupling between
strains and mobile protons.
