The H-1 and Rb-87 spin-lattice relaxation and spin-spin relaxation times in superionic Rb3H(SeO4)(2) single crystals grown by the slow evaporation method were measured over the temperature range 160-450 K. The temperature dependencies of the H-1 T-1, T-1p, and T-2 are measured. In the ferroelastic phase, T-1 differs from T-1p, which is in turn different from T,, although these three relaxation times converge to similar values near 410 K. This transition seems to occur at temperature which is about 40 K lower than the superionic transition temperature. The observation of liquid-like values of the H-1 T-1, T-1p, and T-2 in the high temperature is compatible with the phase being superionic, indicating that the destruction and reconstruction of hydrogen bonds does indeed occur at high temperature. In addition, the Rb-87 T-1 and T-2 values at high temperature were similar (on the order of milliseconds), a trend that was also observed for H-1 T-1 and T-2. This behavior is expected for most hopping-type ionic conductors, and could be attributed to interactions between the mobile ions and the neighboring group ions within the crystal. The motion giving rise to this liquid-like behavior is related to the superionic motion. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
