C. Kaiser et al., SHEAR ELASTICITY AND THE ORIENTATIONAL GLASS STATE OF (NACL)(1-X)(NACN)(X) MIXED-CRYSTALS, Ferroelectrics, 208(1-4), 1998, pp. 339-346
The real and imaginary part of the low-frequency shear constant of (Na
Cl)(1-x)(NaCN)(x) single crystals, x = 0.67, 0.62, 0.51, has been meas
ured as function of temperature. The elastic behavior is discussed in
terms of ferroelastic phase transitions and of the formation of the or
ientational glass state. Differences to other series of cyanide mixed
crystals are pointed out.
