Abstract

The thermal and dielectric properties of the (NH4)2NbOF5 oxyfluoride have been investigated. It has been established that the structural phase transitions Cmc21C2 → Ia observed at the temperatures T 1 = 258.0 K and T 2 = 218.9 K exhibit a nonferroelectric nature. The hydrostatic pressure, which stabilizes the initial phase and destabilizes the low-temperature phase, hardly affects the temperature range of stability of the intermediate phase. The model of sequential ordering of the structural elements due to phase transitions has been analyzed using experimental data on the entropies of the phase transitions.
