Abstract
The first principles calculations for K3H(SO4)(2) (KHS) system are performe d in order to determine its stable structure in the presence of the hydroge n or the deuterium in its hydrogen bond, and to discuss the origin of the l arge isotope effect in the KHS system. As a result, a reasonable value of t he antiferroelectric interaction energy is obtained. It is also found that the position of the hydrogen is closer to the center of the hydrogen bond t han that of the deuterium, based on the calculated results of the proton-po sition dependence of the oxygen-oxygen distance and on the experimental fac t that the oxygen-oxygen distance in K3D(SO4)(2) (DKHS) is larger than that in KHS.
