Anomalous elastic properties of betaine calcium chloride dihydrate, (CH3)3NCH2COO·CaCl2·2H2O

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The elastic constants of orthorhombic betaine calcium chloride dihydrate have been investigated by ultrasonic methods in the range between 300 and 100 K. The phase transition at 169 K is accompanied by a sharp softening of all ultrasonic waves having longitudinal components of the displacement vector, similar to the effects observed at the α-β transition of Li2Ge7O15 and at the V–IV transition of thiourea. The transition at 129 K shows only very weak anomalies like those found in the α-β transition of Te(OH)6·2NH4H2PO4·(NH4)2HPO4. The transitions at 169 K and 129 K are of second order.
