Description

The structural phase transition and behavior of the Σ2 - Σ3 phonon branch of Rb2SeO4 have been investigated with the use of heat capacity measurement and X-ray and neutron scattering technique. No phase transition was detected down to 2 K, both in thermal analysis and in neutron elastic scattering. However, neutron inelastic scattering showed a slight softening of the phonon excitation frequency below 100 K. Two typical first-order-type anomalies due to the phase I - phase II transition and melting were observed at 821 K and 1233 K, respectively. The entropy change for the phase I - phase II transition was determined as 12.46 Jmol-1K-1.
