Heat capacity, thermal dilatation, sensitivity to pressure and permittivity of NH 4 HSO 4 embedded into glass matrices with a pore size of 320 nm and 46 nm were studied. Large difference in the thermal expansion of both glass and ferroelectric leads to a "clamped" state of NH 4 HSO 4 in nanocomposites and to the phase transition temperatures change. The restricted geometry does not effect on the order of successive transformations in NH 4 HSO 4 but is accompanied by a significant reduction in entropy of phase transitions. The behavior of DTA-signal and permittivity show the expansion of the temperature range of the ferroelectric phase under hydrostatic pressure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
