| Research Abstract |
In order to elucidate the fundamental aspect of the cooperative phenomena of the electron-and proton transfer in solids,hydrogen-bonded charge-transfer crystals have been investigated by optical spectroscopy in a wide spectral range from the infrared to UV region.In guinhydrone charge-transfer crystals,whch have a prototype of the 2-dimensional proton lattice,a new phase transition associated with the proton tunneling in the proton lattice has been discovered as a result of application of hydrostatic pressure.This provides a uniaue opportunity for studying the dynamics of the electron-proton interaction in solids.In fact,this phase transition exhibits striking changes in optical properties of the chargetransfer exction as well as the O-H stretching vibrational mode.The temperature and pressure-induced changesof the IR spectra can be accounted for in terms of the proton tunneling through a barrier of the H-bonded double-well potential.These characteristic features suggest the possibility of the formation of the protonic domain walls or solition-like kinks in the electron-proton transfer state.Such a new type of elementaly exaitations in solids allows rs to expand the subject of thi research to design of a new molecular function in charge-transfer complexes.
