Abstract

The anomalous behavior of the Brillouin frequency shift omega of the soft acoustic mode for KH3(SeO3)(2) and KD3(SeO3)(2), and also the volume thermal expansion proportional to(V) and the specific heat C of KH3(SeO3)(2) have been analyzed for various temperature intervals close to the phase transition temperatures TC at around 211 K and 302 K, respectively. Our extracted values of the critical exponent from C and proportional to(V) of KH3(SeO3)(2) within the temperature intervals of vertical bar T -T-C vertical bar < 7 K are nearly zero, while the critical exponent extracted from the Brillouin frequency shift data of both KH3(SeO3)(2) and KD3(SeO3)(2) within the same temperature interval of vertical bar T -T-C vertical bar < 7 K decrease very rapidly toward to zero as the phase transition temperatures are approached. Our results indicate that the critical behavior of omega, proportional to(V) and C of both KH3(SeO3)(2) and KD3(SeO3)(2) can be described with the same critical exponent within the temperature interval of vertical bar T -T-C vertical bar < 2 K.
