Dynamic structural transition in the superionic conductor Na5RESi4O12
Kompan M. E., Venus G. B., Dimitrova O. V.
Experiments have been carried out on Eu3 + probe ions in the superionic conductor Na5RESi4012 near 400 К by the method of fluorescence spectroscopy. It is concluded from the results and from a comparison of these results with existing structural data that a restructuring of the material which occurs near 400 К is a "dynamic structural transition" of an intermediate type—something between first-order and second-order in Landau's classification of phase transitions.
