Abstract

AbstractThe properties of layered 2d‐ferroelectric and at the same time 3d‐antiferroelectric materials H2C4O4/D2C4O4 are studied by quantum‐chemical approach using pseudospin formalism in frames of Ising‐type model Hamiltonian with tunneling terms. This Hamiltonian parameters (that are Ω ‐ tunneling integral and Jij‐ Ising parameters) for both materials were obtained by means of RHF, MP2‐MP4 and DFT/B3LYP calculations for different clusters which simulate characteristic fragments of materials crystalline structure. Resulting Ω and Jij values for crystals at hand were used in the limits of two mean field approximations that allow explaining main peculiarities of the observed order‐disorder phase transition. The nature is discussed of the Bethe cluster lowest energy level splitting that has been introduced for correct description of this transition. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
