摘要
We have investigated the optical response resulting from the proton-pi-electron-molecular-skeleton coupled dynamics in an organic ferroelectric 55DMBP-Hia. Upon the ferroelectric-to-paraelectric transition, almost all of the vibrational modes below 500 cm(-1) are anomalously blurred and amalgamated into the high-frequency tail of the polarization-relaxation mode. This indicates that the constituent molecular shape is no more well defined around T(C) due to the dynamical disorder of the pi-conjugated structure originating from proton delocalization on the intermolecular bifurcated hydrogen bond.
