Statics and Dynamics of a Glassy Crystal: A NMR- and Neutron Scattering Investigation of (NaCl) 0.35 (NaCN) 0.65
1987
The statics and the dynamics of the glass transition in (NaCl)0.35(NaCN)0.65 have been investigated by inelastic neutron scattering and are directly compared to NMR results. Insight into the relaxation dynamics is gained via the temperature dependence of the transverse acoustic phonon modes and via the spin relaxation time T1. The statics of the system is reflected by the growth of a central peak and by the distribution of electric-field gradients. Both quantities are directly related to the glass order parameter. The temperature dependence of the order parameter provides experimental evidence that in NaCl:NaCN mixed crystals the glass transition is dominated by random fields rather than by…
Phases and phase transitions of (NaCl)1?x(NaCN)x
1985
(NaCl)1−x(NaCN)x mixed crystals with CN-concentrationsx of 0.87, 0.76, 0.71 and 0.65 have been investigated by X-ray powder diffraction. Apart from the cubic room temperature phase, a rhombohedral and an orthorhombic phase have been identified. In addition a glass state has been observed which is characterized by a strong broadening of the cubic powder lines. The phase diagram shows a wide coexistence gap between the non-cubic phases and the glass state.
