| Title |
Commensurability and defect-induced phason gaps in incommensurate systems |
| Date |
1985 |
| Description |
The phason energy gap has been observed to increase on going from the incommensurate to higher-order commensurate phases in the "devil's staircase" compound [N(CH3)4]2ZnCl4. The gap was determined via the phason-induced 1 4N spin-lattice relaxation contribution, which was obtained from the variation of the effective spin- lattice relaxation rate over the inhomogeneous incommensurate frequency distribution. Here, as well as in Rb2ZnCl4 and Rb2ZnBr4 , the phason gap in the incommensurate phase is defect induced. |
