Temperature dependence of the far infrared transmission of the modulated structure Rb 2 ZnBr 4

Abstract
The far infrared transmission between 5 and 140 cm−1 of Rb2ZnBr4 has been measured as a function of temperature from 4 to 400 K. We have observed a temperature dependent mode, which broadens strongly with increasing temperature. Moreover, we have found strong indications of a new phase transition at 50 K.
