Observation of an incommensurate structure by optical spectroscopy with a 5f ion as an internal probe. U4+–ThCl4 System

Abstract: The second order phase transition in P-ThC14 (T, = 70 K) leads to an incommensurate tetragonal structure modulated along the fourfold symmetry axis. This is due to the freezing of an optical soft mode which induces a modulation of the chlorine ion positions in a plan perpendicular to this axis. Consequently in neighbouring unit cells the crystal field strength acting on the U4+ ion is slightly different. Then the line shape in the optical spectra shows a continuous variation which reflects the shift of the ene… Show more
