Abstract:
The crystal structure of KH2AsO4 (KDA) is refined at room temperature by neutron single crystal structural analysis. The distance ROO between two oxygen atoms bonded by a hydrogen atom is a little longer than that of KH2PO4 (KDP). A double peaked distribution of H with the splitting distance d is visualized directly in the nuclear density map obtained using maximum entropy method. The parameter d of KDA is also larger than that of KDP, though the transition temperature of KDA is lower than that of KDP.

Keywords: KDP family, hydrogen bonding, ferroelectrics, disordered proton, neutron diffraction, structure analysis
