Abstract
The quadrupole perturbed magnetic resonance spectra of 9Be in a deuterated triglycine fluoberyllate single crystal have been studied as a function of temperature and crystal orientation, and the electric field gradient (EFG) tensors at the Be sites have been determined in the para- and in the ferroelectric phase. The data show that the main effect of the ferroelectric transition is a shift of the Be ion away from the twofold b axis where it lies in the paraelectric phase and a rotation of the two minor principal axes of the 9Be EFG tensor for θ = ± 25° away from the average, paraelectric direction. The results can be understood in terms of the dynamic order—disorder model, proposed by Hoshino, Okaya, and Pepinsky.
