摘要:

我们采用太赫兹范围的温度依赖拉曼光谱和第一性原理晶格动力学计算表明,未掺杂的钠离子导体Na $_3$ PS $_4$和同构Na $_3$ PSe $_4$都表现出非谐晶格动力学。在化合物中的非谐效应涉及耦合主机晶格-钠$^+$离子动力学驱动的四方到立方相变在这两种情况下,但与过渡的非谐特性的质的差异。Na $_3$ PSe $_4$表现出几乎纯粹的位移特性,当对称性的改变将这些模式转移到拉曼非活性布里渊区边界时,软模式在立方相中消失。Na $_3$ PS $_4$在立方相中反而显示出有序-无序特性,其中软模通过相变持续存在并且在立方相中在拉曼中保持活性,违反了该相的拉曼选择规则。我们的研究结果突出了耦合主机晶格-移动离子动力学的振动不稳定性,是符合这些钠$^+$离子导体的特殊导电性的重要作用。

英文摘要:

We employ THz-range temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy and first-principles lattice-dynamical calculations to show that the undoped sodium ion conductors Na$_3$PS$_4$ and isostructural Na$_3$PSe$_4$ both exhibit anharmonic lattice dynamics. The anharmonic effects in the compounds involve coupled host lattice -- Na$^+$ ion dynamics that drive the tetragonal-to-cubic phase transition in both cases, but with a qualitative difference in the anharmonic character of the transition. Na$_3$PSe$_4$ shows almost purely displacive character with the soft modes disappearing in the cubic phase as the change of symmetry shifts these modes to the Raman-inactive Brillouin zone boundary. Na$_3$PS$_4$ instead shows order-disorder character in the cubic phase, with the soft modes persisting through the phase transition and remaining active in Raman in the cubic phase, violating Raman selection rules for that phase. Our findings highlight the important role of coupled host lattice -- mobile ion dynamics in vibrational instabilities that are coincident with the exceptional conductivity in these Na$^+$ ion conductors.
