Using a modified microscopic model of NH3CH2COOH·H2PO3 by taking into account piezoelectric coupling with strains εi, ε4, ε5 and ε6 in two-particle cluster approximation, the temperature dependence of polarization and tensor of static dielectric permittivity of mechanically clamped and free crystal, their piezoelectric characteristics, elastic constants and heat capacity are calculated.

1. Introduction Glycinium hydrogenphosphite crystal, NH3CH2COOH·H2PO3 (GPI), is a very interesting compound due to the combination of structural elements typical of different classes of crystals. On the one hand, it contains the covalently bonded phosphite HPO3 groups which are linked through the hydrogen O − H ···O bonds thus forming the chains running approximately along the c-axis (see Fig. 1). Such structural components are usual for non-organic ferroelectric materials, in particular for crystals of KH2PO4 family. Exactly the hydrogen bonded PO4 groups play a leading role in the mechanism of ferroelectric phase transition in KH2PO4-type crystals. On the other hand, there are four organic glycinium groups NH3CH2COOH in GPI unit cell which are linked by four additional hydrogen bonds with phosphite HPO3 groups belonging to two different phosphite chains (see Fig. 1). Such a structural complexity may result in great diversity of physical properties of this material. Therefore, GPI crystal has been intensively studied by means of dielectric [1,2], acoustic [3–5], calorimetric [6], optic [7] and spectroscopic [8,9] methods. A theoretical description of dielectric properties of GPI was presented in [10,11]. At room temperature, GPI crystalizes in a monoclinic P2 1/ a space group (No. 14, Z = 4) which transforms to P21 symmetry (No. 4, Z = 4) [12–14] below structural phase transition occurring near TC = 224 K. High-temperature phase is non-polar paraelectric phase whereas the

low-temperature one demonstrates ferroelectric properties. Even at room temperature, there are two structurally inequivalent types of hydrogen bonds of different length, O2 − H2···O2 (R = 2.48 Å) and O3 − H3···O3 (R = 2.51 Å), phosphite HPO3 groups linked into chains along c-axis [13]. In both cases, the protons located there are disordered above TC over the two possible sites on hydrogen bonds whereas they become ordered in one of those sites below TC. This proton ordering in low-symmetry phase is a common feature of many hydrogen bonded ferroelectrics. However, there is an unique feature distinguishing hydrogen bonds of GPI among other ferroelectics of order-disorder type. As seen in Fig. 1, every O2 atom is involved only into a single O2 − H2···O2 hydrogen bond whereas every O3 atom is engaged into two different hydrogen bonds, i.e., O3 − H3···O3 and O3 − H6···N . This additional hydrogen bond may puzzle the mechanism of phase transition. Based on the lattice dynamics simulation of GPI in both structural phases [15] it was established that mean square displacements of O2 atoms in low-frequency range of 0–500 cm −1 are of one order of magnitude larger than those of O3 atoms. However, the H2 and H3 protons have almost similar thermal vibration amplitudes over the frequency range, 0–1000 cm −1. Hence, an attempt to shed light onto the GPI phase transition mechanism is the main motivation for the present study. In our former works, we succeeded in the efforts to properly describe the set of thermodynamic, elastic and piezoelectric properties of hydrogen-

Hamiltonian of GPI proton may be presented as the sum of “seed” and pseudo-spin constituents. “Seed” energy Upseed effectively accounts for the crystal lattice and does not directly depend on proton configlshort urations. Pseudo-spin part of Hamiltonian considers short-range H lMF proton interactions near tetrahedral HPO3 groups and long-range H and also takes into account the interaction with cartesian components of electric field E1, E2 and E3. Therefore, Hamiltonian may be written as follows: l = NUseed + H lshort + H lMF − H

bonded compounds with phase transitions of order-disorder type in the framework of pseudo-spin model for a proton subsystem within a twoparticle cluster approximation [16,17]. In the present work, we are aiming at elaborating a pseudo-spin model of GPI crystal capable of describing the set of thermodynamic properties observed experimentally. Constructing such a model we took into consideration the ground structural feature occurring at the phase transition, namely proton ordering within O2 − H2···O2 and O3 − H3···O3 hydrogen bonds. All other structural changes are treated by us effectively using adjustable model parameters. If our description adequately correlates with experiment, especially within the phase transition region, it should count in favor of order-disorder mechanism of the ferroelectric phase transition in GPI.

2. Model Hamiltonian We consider the system of protons, based on O2 − H2···O2 and O3 − H3···O3 bonds, which form zigzag chains along crystallographic c→ axis. Dipole moments dqf (f = 1, 3) are ascribed to two H2 protons located on the neighboring chains along a-axis, whereas dipole → moments dqf (f = 2, 4) are related to two H3 protons on the same neighboring chains (see Fig. 2). In ferroelectric phase, the dipole → → → → moments compensate each other (dq1 with dq3, dq2 with dq4 ) along Z and X directions (X ⊥(b,c), Y ∥b, Z ∥c). However, along Y axis, they have non-zero components contributing to the total spontaneous polarization.

where the first Kronecker symbol corresponds to interactions between the H2 or H3 protons near the tetrahedral HPO3 groups of type I in caxis running chains, the second – near the HPO3 groups of type II, Rc is the radius-vector of relative position of the hydrogen bond in the unit cell. Here, for the sake of simplicity, we introduced new notation of two types of HPO3 complexes. We refer to HPO3 tetrahedron along with two attached hydrogen bonds as I type tetrahedron, whereas the second type of HPO3 groups (II type) are accounted for here without O2 − H2···O2 and O3 − H3···O3 neighboring hydrogen bonds. Energy contributions of interactions between protons near the tetrahedra of different types, and mean values of the pseudo-spins <σqf >, which correspond to the tetrahedra of different type, are equal.

“seed” coefficients of piezoelectric stress eij0 ; “seed” elastic constants cijE0 . To establish these parameters, we used the experimental temperature dependence of the following physical characteristics: Ps(T) [18], σ Cp(T) [6], ε11σ , ε33 [19], d21, d23 [20]. The hydrostatic pressure dependence of phase transition temperature Tc(p) [21] was used as well. Static dielectric permittivity was analyzed by us for a set of partially deuterated crystals GPI 1− x DGPIx with different deuterium content. Fully deuterated analogue of GPI has the following formulae ND3CH2COOD·D2PO3. It means that the hydrogen atoms are substituted by deuterium in O2 − D2 ···O2 and O3 − D3···O3 hydrogen bonds which play a key role in the ferroelectric phase transition. Deuteron content x dependence of phase transition temperature Tc of GPI 1− x DGPIx was published in two papers [22,23]. The agreement between these data is rather poor, especially for high deuterium concentration, x≥ 0.3 (see Fig. 3). Since the papers [18,22] present the concentration dependence of spontaneous polarization and dielectric permittivity of the mixed GPI 1− x DGPIx compound we decided to utilize in our further analysis the content x dependence published in [22]. As seen in Fig. 3, these experimental data [22] may be nicely approximated by the following relation Tc(x ) = 225(1 + 0.382x + 0.193x 2 )K (blue line). Hereinafter, this relation is accepted by us as the concentration law for Tc in GPI 1− x DGPIx. We admitted the linear dependence on deuterium x concentration of the unit cell volume of a mixed compound, i.e., υ(x ) = υH (1 − x ) + υDx , where υH=0.6015 ·10−21 cm3 [13], υD=0.6139 ·10−21 cm3 [23] are the unit cell volumes of fully protonated and deuterated compound, respectively. The analysis of numerical data shows that thermodynamic characteristics mostly depend on two linear combinations of long-ranged interactions, i.e., ν 0+ = ν10+ + 2ν20+ + ν30+ and ν 0− = ν10− + 2ν20− + ν30− being practically independent (deviation < 0.1%) of the particular value of each νf0± at the given ν0+ν0-. The same condition regarding the relevance of linear combinations, ψi+ = ψ1+i + 2ψ2+i + ψ3+i and ψi− = ψ1−i + 2ψ2−i + ψ3−i , is valid for ψ fi± parameters. We have got the

η13 < η24 at ν10+ < ν30+ . Since ferroelectric phase transition is a transition of the second order, based on the extremum condition of the reciprocal dielectric susceptibility (3.5), one may readily obtain the equation for phase transition temperature, Δ2p (Tc ) = 0 , which allows us to find the w0 parameter for various deuterium concentrations x. Finally, the w0(x ) dependence may be approximated with high accuracy (< 0.1%) by means of cuspidal function, w0(x )/ kB = 820(1 + 0.529x + 0.286x 2 )K . The deformation potentials, δj, are the coefficients of w0 expansion into a series with respect to strain εj (see Eq. (2.4)), and have the ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ following values, δ 1 = 500 K, δ 2 = 600 K, δ 3 = 500 K, δ 4 = 150 K, δ 5 = ∼ ∼ 100 K, δ 6 = 150 K; δ i = δi / kB . There is a linear concentration x ∼ ∼ dependence of all δi parameters, δi(x ) = δi(0)(1 − 0.82x ). In paraelectric phase, the effective dipole moments of 1 (3) and 2 (4) protons are independent of the deuterium content and adopt certain values along the Cartesian axes, → μ 13 = (0.4, 4.02, 4.3)·10−18 −18 → esu cm, μ 24 = (−2.3, −3.0, 2.2)·10 esu cm, respectively. It appears, in ferroelectric phase, that μ13y component grows with an increasing x according to the linear relation, i.e. μ13y ferro (x ) = 3.82(1 + 0.062x )·10−18 esu cm. Using experimental structural data in both temperature phases [12], we calculated the displacements of protons labeled as 1 and 2 (see

Now let us discuss the obtained results. The comparison between the calculated temperature dependence of spontaneous polarization PS of protonated GPI and experimental data [18–20,1] is presented in Fig. 4a and a similar dependence for the mixed GPI 1− x DGPIx compound with different deuteron concentration x is shown in Fig. 4b. As seen in Fig. 4a, there is a disagreement between the experimental data published in different papers. The saturation polarization increases linearly with an increasing deuteron concentration x. Fig. 5a shows the calculated temperature dependence of static ε (T ) and free dielectric permittivity of the mechanically clamped ε22 σ ε22(T ) GPI crystal along with the experimental data [22,1,20,21,19], while Fig. 5b demonstrates the corresponding theoretical and experimental data [22] for GPI 1− x DGPIx crystals. As one can see from Fig. 5, ε ε (T ) = 1 + 4πχ22 ) well in paraelectric phase, the results of calculation (ε22 quantitatively agree with experimental data [22,20,21,19] for different deuteron concentrations x. However, in ferroelectric phase, the experimental data have much higher values compared to the calculated ones. This is due to a significant domain-wall motion contribution to the dielectric properties at low-frequencies of external electric field. As seen in Fig. 5, the domain-wall contribution to ε22 does increase with a decreasing frequency of the electric field. However, the low-frequency domain-wall dynamics is out of our current research. The temperature dependence of transverse dielectric permittivities ε11, ε33 and ε31 is presented in Fig. 6. Our theoretical results well describe the temperature dependence of ε11 permittivity in the whole temperature range investigated and of ε33 permittivity only in ferroelectric phase. There is a significant deviation of the calculated ε33(T) curve from the corresponding experimental data in paraelectric phase. The reason of this issue may be found in the search of physical origin of this unexpectedly high room temperature experimental value of ε33, i.e., ∼190. Normally, the permittivity of a dielectric material in non-polar phase does not exceed 10. In our opinion, such a large value observed along the c (Z) direction is related to the GPI crystal structure. Since both the phosphite chains and the hydrogen bonds are directed approximately along the c axis (see Fig. 2), there is an enhanced correlation of long-ranged interionic interactions exactly along the c direction. It causes a significant space anisotropy of polarizability of both ionic complexes and hydrogen bonds which results in high effective polarization exactly along c axis. Since our treatment is basically focused on the proton dynamics and effectively accounts all other interatomic interactions it may explain a significant disagreement between the calculated and experimental values of ε33 at room temperature (Fig. 6).

The absence of a quantitaand experimental displacements, Δ→ tive correspondence between our model and experimental data may be due to the fact that model dipole moments effectively account not only for the proton displacements but also for the distortions of phosphite HPO3 and glycine NH3CH2COOH complexes appearing at a phase transition.

Cp(T ) − ΔCp(T ) near the phase transition point, where ΔCp(T ) is the quasi-spin contribution to the heat capacity near TC. The lattice contribution Clattice in the vicinity of Tc is well approximated by the straight line Clattice = C0 + C1(T − Tc ), where C0 = 147.5J /(mol · K ), C1 = 0.46J /(mol · K 2 ). Our calculation well agrees with the experimental temperature dependence of Cp(T) [6]. 5. Conclusion In our research we presented the modified model of GPI crystal based on two-particle cluster approximation which properly describes a rich set of various experimental thermodynamic characteristics. Crystal structure of GPI is very complicated consisting of various kinds of crystal interactions. Our model is based on the most characteristic feature of the GPI, namely the proton ordering within O2 − H2···O2 and O3 − H3···O3 hydrogen bonds occurring at structural phase transition. All other interatomic interactions and structural changes accompanying this ferroelectric transition were effectively accounted for using adjustable parameters. However, such proton ordering is also accompanied by intricate internal deformations of both phosphite HPO3 and glycinium groups NH3CH2COOH. Consequently, generally speaking, the quasi-spin formalism used in our model should be applicable not only to the proton dynamics in hydrogen bonds but also seemingly to all structural units of GPI undergoing the order-disorder-like dynamics at structural phase transition. We succeeded in describing the temperature dependence of dielectric, elastic, piezoelectric and thermodynamic properties. For most of them, we have got very good agreement between the model treatment and experiment. For some of them, e.g., for ε33(T) in paraelectric phase, the agreement was worse. In our opinion, the disagreement between our theoretical results and experimental data clearly indicates the limit of the model presented here and shows hopefully the eventual ways for its improvement.

The temperature dependence of the coefficients of piezoelectric strains d2i and d25 and the coefficients of piezoelectric stresses e2i and e25 is presented in Fig. 9, while the temperature dependence of the constants of piezoelectric stresses h2i, h25 and of piezoelectric strains g2i, g25 – in Fig. 10. In paraelectric phase, these coefficients should be equal to zero according to the inversion symmetry of crystal above TC. In ferroelectric phase, the values of d2i, d25 and e2i, e25 increase with an increasing temperature and reach a maximum at Curie point Tc. Temperature dependence of piezoelectric moduli h2i, h25 and g2i, g25 manifests a very broad maximum in ferroelectric phase centered near ∼220 K. As seen in Fig. 9, experimental data for d21 and d23 [20] demonstrate a rather unexpected behavior with broad diffusive peak near Curie temperature spreading its nonzero wing far above the phase transition Tc temperature. It is worth noting that according to the same paper [20], spontaneous polarization was not equal to zero above Tc thus indicating either some peculiarities of the GPI sample or some specific features of the experimental setup used in paper [20]. Fig. 11a shows the temperature dependence of elastic moduli cij at a constant electric field. All elastic moduli are temperature independent in paraelectric phase and undergo certain jumps down at Curie point TC showing a smooth increase with a decreasing temperature in the ferroelectric phase. In the same Figure, we present the experimental room temperature data of [5]. Since the papers [4,3] reported a temperature evolution of ultrasonic wave υ2 velocity, we recalculated the elastic modulus c22 using the relation c22 = ρυ22 , where the crystal density ρ = 1, 722 g / cm3 is taken from [5]. As seen in this Figure, there is a good agreement between the theory and experiment at room temperature for all elastic moduli. There is also a quite acceptable agreement between our calculation and experiment [4] for thermal evolution of c22 modulus with the exception of the close vicinity of phase transition point where the jump down of c22 is detected in our research and is not visible in experiment [4]. A quite discernible discontinuity down of c22 near Tc was clearly measured in [3] showing also the temperature evolution of c22 compared to our data giving, however, the room temperature value of c22 significantly lower than that published in [4,5]. The temperature dependence of sij elastic compliances of GPI crystal is given in Fig. 11b. Temperature dependence of GPI heat capacity is shown in Fig. 12. Dashed line in this Figure demonstrates the effective lattice Clattice contribution to Cp estimated by us as the average difference
