Abstract

The phase transition (Ttrs = 48 K) of (ND4)2SeCl6, which exhibits a strong isotope effect, has been studied by neutron powder diffraction under high pressure. Data of the high-temperature phase were collected on HRPD at ISIS under helium gas pressure of 480 MPa at 63 K. The Rietveld analysis and Fourier contour map revealed that the D atom of the ND4+ ion is broadly disordered around the C3-axis of the cubic lattice at lower pressure and tends to be localized on the axis at higher pressure.
