Abstract
Abstract The temperature dependence o f the 35Cl NQR frequency and spin-lattice relaxation time T1Q of (NH4)2SeCl6 and (ND4)2SeCl6 were measured from 400 K to 24.8 and 53.8 K, respectively. The disappearance of NQR signals in the low temperature region of both salts is attributed to phase transitions. We concluded from the temperature behavior of just above the transition point that the operative mechanism o f the transition is different in these salts: The transition of (ND4)2SeCl6 seems to be associated with rotary soft modes, while in the natural salt non-rotary soft modes seem to play an important role at the transition.
