NMR and impedance study of H+-ion irradiated TlH2PO4
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
The H+-ion treatment effect on TlH2PO4, a KH2PO4 (KDP)-type ferroelectrics, was studied by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and AC dielectric measurements. A sample of TlH2PO4 was irradiated by 1-MeV H+ ion beams to a dose of 1015 ions/cm2. The irradiation changed the hydrogen-bond geometry, presumably affecting the order-disorder proton dynamics. The deformation of the PO4 tetrahedra was identified by the isotropic chemical shift and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the high-resolution 31P NMR spectra. A prominent decrease in the dielectric constant was also observed after the irradiation. The macroscopic and microscopic changes due to the irradiation are discussed in the light of the proton dynamics.
