Abstract

Crystals grown from a solution of dimethylammonium and copper chlorides are studied using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and X-ray diffraction. The dielectric properties of the crystals grown are measured. It is established that the crystals have the composition [(CH3)2NH2]2CuCl4[(CH3)2NH2]Cl and, in phase I at room temperature, are described by the orthorhombic space group Pna21 with the unit cell parameters a = 11.338 Å, b = 9.981 Å, and c = 15.675 Å. At temperatures of 279 K and 253 K, the crystals undergo jumpwise phase transitions into the incommensurate modulated ferroelectric phase II and commensurate modulated phase III, respectively.
