Vibrational Spectroscopy of Imidazole Based Hydrogen and Halogen Bonded Organic Ferroelectrics

Abstract: Organic ferroelectrics are in the focus of current research because of their potential applications as a material to address global challenges. These lightweight, flexible and nontoxic materials have potential applications in energy storage, medical ultrasound imaging and in data storage in computers. The dynamics of protons are considered as the key mechanisms of the functionality of these materials. To build on our previous investigations on hydrogen bonded organic ferroelectrics, in this proposal I propose to investigate simultaneous Raman and INS spectroscopy of a number of imidazole based organic ferroelectrics to understand their finger print motion and to correlate that with their ferroelectricity. These experiments are complemented with QENS experiments and DFT based lattice dynamics simulations.
