Raman studies of superionic phase transition in (NH4)4H2(SeO4)3

Abstract NIR FT Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate molecular groups dynamics in the vicinity of superionic phase transition in (NH4)4H2(SeO4)3. It was found that the low temperature phase transition becomes unstable about 15 K below the superionic phase transition Ts. The observed changes refer mainly to the dynamics of SeO4 and HSeO4 entities. The Raman spectra of PEO+ +(NH4)4H2(SeO4)3 polymer are presented as well.
