Qısa məlumat

The incommensurate material, TlInS2, with layer structure was studied by light figure spectroscopy techniques in spectral range 400-700 nm in temperature interval 80-350 K. Evolution of light figures with temperature in phase transition region was reliably established. The optic angle of TlInS 2 was found to be sample-dependent with essentially two types of critical behavior with temperature; peak-like behavior that was ascribed to a pure incommensurate phase and peak-free behavior that was attributed to the influence of the domains or defects. In latter case the samples showed symmetry forbidden rotation of optic plane with temperature. As a whole, the obtained results allow for a conclusion that incommensurate spatial modulation with correlation length at the nanoscale was contributing to biaxial anisotropy of TlInS2 to a level of 10-3 versus 10-4 for basic lattice. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
