  2. The domain structure in the ferroelectric-ferroelastic phases of the Rb2Cd2(SO4)3 crystals

The temperature behavior of the domain structure in the ferroelectric-ferroelastic phases of the Rb2Cd2(SO4)3 langbeinite crystals were investigated by the optical microscopy method. The new phase with the point group of symmetry 3 was found in the temperature region 130K<T<113K. By the observation of the domain structure in the temperature region 113K<T<101K the coexistence of the monoclinic and trigonal phase was revealed. The broad maximum of the dielectric permitivity measured at frequency 1MHz around T=Tc4=113K was found. This maximum significate that phase transition at Tc4 is the diffuse phase transition

Key words: Rb2Cd2(SO4)3 , langbeinite crystals, domain structure, dielectric permitivity, phase transition
