Vb. Kapustianik, MANIFESTATIONS OF INCOMMENSURATE MODULATION IN THE SPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF A(2)MECL(4) TYPE CRYSTALS, Physica status solidi. b, Basic research, 207(2), 1998, pp. 509-520
Manifestations of the incommensurate modulation in the optical spectra
were analyzed on the example of A(2)MeX(4) type compounds with alkyl
ammonium cation. It has been shown that the mentioned materials are ch
aracterized by different kinds of the thermooptic memory effect. Besid
es, nonfulfilment of the empiric Urbach rule was also considered as a
peculiar feature of the incommensurate phases. The nature of this phen
omenon has been explained on the basis of data of vibrational spectros
copy.
