摘要
The neutral-ionic (N-I) phase transitions of the molecular valence state have been investigated by Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction for a series of isostructural charge-transfer complexes, 4,4'-dimethyltetrathiafulvalene-p-chloranil (DMTTF-QCl(4)) and Br-substituted analogs DMTTF-QB(n)Cl(4-n), in which the N-I transition temperature can be critically controlled with n. The anomalously broadened Raman spectrum of the valence-probing molecular vibration as well as the diffuse x-ray scattering of the ionic superlattice is observed ubiquitously around the N-I phase boundary, including the vicinity of the quantum critical (OK-transition) point. The results quantify the quantum fluctuation between the two states of matter, van der Waals and ionic crystals.
