Abstract:
The velocity of quasi-longitudinal acoustic (QLA) phonons in (NH$_4)_3$H(SO$_4)_2$ (TAHS) crystals was studied by Brillouin scattering in the temperature range from 295 to 430 K. It was found that the QLA phonon velocity in the vicinity of a superionic ferroelastic phase transition ($T_c=413\,$K) exhibits anomalous temperature dependence. At $T<T_c$, an additional contribution is separated from the temperature dependence of the hypersound velocity, the behavior of which is correlated with variations of the conductivity of a TAHS crystal. Based on an analysis of the experimental data, a thermoactivation mechanism explaining the anomalous behavior of the QLA phonon velocity is proposed and the corresponding activation energy is estimated.
