摘要
Two alkali-metal-polyvalent-metal Zintl compounds, NaSn and CsPb, exhibit a two-stage melting process with high-temperature solid phases characterized by rapid dynamical disorder. In NaSn this disorder is associated with fast reorientations of the Sn44- polyanions closely coupled to a slower migration of the Na+ cations. In CsPb it is associated with rapid reorientations of Pb44- polyanions with the Cs+ cations participating in the dynamical disorder on the same time scale. In both cases the disordering has dramatic effects on the electronic and ionic transport and thermodynamic properties. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
