Introduction Ferroelectric compounds of the KH2PO4 family have been studied for nearly 70 years. Extensive experimental data have been accumulated; several models of the phase transitions in these crystals have been proposed and explored (see [1–14]). At the end of 1960-s, attention of theoretical and experimental studies of the ferroelectric compounds has shifted to the problem of the dynamic phenomena. Investigation of the low-frequency dispersion of their dielectric permittivity provides an important information about mechanisms of the phase transitions or dielectric response of the crystals. Despite the success in constructing a microscopic theory of the KH2PO4 family crystals mostly phenomenological models were used in interpreting the experimental data as regards the dynamic characteristics. Such models provide no information about the microscopic nature of the dielectric dispersion and do not allow one to adequately describe the effect of different factors on its temperature and frequency dependencies. This problem has not been solved by the Green functions method or Bloch kinetic equation method [8,9,11,12] either. Most theoretical works on the relaxation phenomena in KH2PO4 family ferroelectrics is based on stochastic Glauber model [16]. For the first time this approach was used to describe relaxational phenomena in KD2PO4 in [17], where the main features of longitudinal relaxation were explored within the four-particle cluster approximation in the paraelectric phase in KD2PO4. In that work the long-range interactions between deuterons was not taken into account, and the theoretical re- sults were not compared with experiment. Later [18–22] a more sophisticated model of the KD2PO4 type ferroelectrics and ND4D2PO4 type antiferroelectrics was proposed, in which longitudinal dy- namic properties of these crystals were calculated within the four-particle cluster approximation for short-range interactions and mean field approximation for long-range interactions. It was shown [12,15,23–25] that the proposed [18–22] theory permits a satisfactory description of longitudinal relaxation in the KH2PO4 type ferroelectrics. An attempt to develop a more consistent theory of the KH2PO4 family ferroelectrics within the four-particle cluster approximation with taking into account the tunneling (Ω) was made in [26–28]. The model was not sophisticated enough to com- c© R.R.Levitskii, I.R.Zachek, A.P.Moina, A.S.Vdovych 555 R.R.Levitskii et al. pare its results with experimental data for the dynamic characteristics of the crystals. At the same time, in these works the fact of suppression of the dynamic characteristics of KH2PO4 type crystals by short-range correlations was established for the first time. Instead of the tunneling frequency, an effective parameter Ω̃ (Ω̃ � Ω) renormalized by short-range interactions was obtained. It should be noted that the established [26–28] suppression explains, most likely, the Debye character of dispersion of the dielectric permittivity observed in these crystals. It should be stressed that the ferroelectrics of the KH2PO4 family are also piezoelectric. The piezoelectric coupling is revealed particularly when the crystals are subjected to external electric fields and mechanical stresses of certain symmetry. At the ferroelectric phase transition in the KH2PO4 type crystals, a spontaneous strain arises which changes their tetragonal symmetry. Studies of the piezoelectric coupling effect on the phase transition and on physical properties of the KH2PO4 type ferroelectrics were initiated in [29], where the Slater model [30] was modified by taking into account the splitting of the lowest ferroelectric level by the strain ε6. Fundamental are the results obtained in [31,32], where the proton ordering model was modified for the first time by taking into account the deformational molecular field related to the strain ε6 as well as the splitting of “lateral” deuteron configurations. In [33,34], with taking into account all possible splittings of configurational energies (“upper/lower”, “lateral”, and single-ionized config- urations) due to the strain ε6, the phase transition and the effect of the stress σ6 [33] and field E3 [34] on the physical characteristics of K(H0,12D0,88)2PO4 crystals were explored. Tunneling was not taken into account. A satisfactory agreement of theoretical results and experimental data was obtained. Physical characteristics of the KH2PO4 family crystals with taking into account piezoelectric coupling and tunneling are explored theoretically in [35]. So far the model consideration of longitudinal dielectric characteristics of the KD2PO4 type fer- roelectrics has been restricted to the static limit and to the microwave region [15,18–25]. Attempts to explore the piezoelectric resonance phenomenon within a model that does not take into account the piezoelectric coupling are pointless. Conventional proton ordering model of the KD2PO4 type ferroelectrics does not permit one to describe the effects related to the difference between the free and clamped regimes or the phenomenon of crystal clamping by high-frequency electric field. It seems natural to calculate, within the proposed in [33] proton ordering model with piezoelec- tric coupling, the dynamic characteristics of the KD2PO4 type ferroelectrics in a wide frequency range from 103 Hz to 1012 Hz, including the piezoelectric resonance region. In [36] within the framework of the four-particle cluster approximation for the proton ordering model, the thermo- dynamic and longitudinal dielectric, piezoelectric, and elastic characteristics of the KD2PO4 have been calculated. It was shown that at the proper choice of the model parameters a good quantitative description of available experimental data by the proposed theory is obtained. In this work, following the approach developed in [37], we shall calculate the longitudinal dynamic dielectric characteristics of the KD2PO4 type ferroelectrics and study their temperature and frequency dependences. We shall investigate the effect of crystal clamping by longitudinal high-frequency external electric field. Expressions for the sound velocity and attenuation for a certain propagation direction will be obtained; their temperature and frequency dependences will be explored. 2. System of equations for time-dependent distribution functions of deuterons We shall consider a system of deuterons moving on O–D. . .O bonds in deuterated ferroelectric of the KD2PO4 type. A primitive Bravais cell of these crystals consists of two PO4 groups (tetrahedra) with four hydrogen bonds attached to one of them (“A” type tetrahedra), while the hydrogen bond attached to the other tetrahedron (“B” type) belongs to the four nearest structure elements surrounding it (figure 1).

Primitive Bravais cell of the KD2PO4 type crystal. One of the possible ferroelectric configurations is shown. crystallographic axis c, which induce contributions to polarization P3 and strain ε6 of the crystal, consists of the “seed” and pseudospin parts [33,35]: Ĥ = NH(0) + Ĥs , (2.1) where N is the number of primitive cells. The “seed” energy of the primitive cell corresponds to the heavy ion subsystem and does not depend explicitly on hydrogen arrangement. It is expressed via the strain ε6 and electric field E3 and includes the elastic, piezoelectric, and electric counterparts H(0) = v̄ ( 1 2 cE0 66 ε 2 6 − e036E3ε6 − 1 2 χε0 33E 2 3 ) , (2.2) where v̄ = v kB , v is the primitive cell volume; cE0 66 , e036, χ ε0 33 are the so-called “seed” elastic constant, coefficient of the piezoelectric stress, and dielectric susceptibility, respectively. These quantities determine the temperature behavior of the corresponding observable characteristics far from the transition point Tc. The pseudospin part of the Hamiltonian is Ĥ = N [ H0 + 2νc(η (1))2 ] + ∑ q Ĥ (4) q6 , where Ĥ (4) q6 = − 4 ∑ f=1 z6 β σqf 2 + ε6 4 (−δs6 + 2δ16) 4 ∑ f=1 σqf 2 − ε6(δs6+2δ16) (σq1 2 σq2 2 σq3 2 + σq1 2 σq2 2 σq4 2 + σq1 2 σq3 2 σq4 2 + σq2 2 σq3 2 σq4 2 ) + (V +δa6ε6) (σq1 2 σq2 2 + σq3 2 σq4 2 ) +(V −δa6ε6) (σq2 2 σq3 2 + σq4 2 σq1 2 ) + U (σq1 2 σq3 2 + σq2 2 σq4 2 ) + Φ σq1 2 σq2 2 σq3 2 σq4 2 , (2.3) and z6 = β(−∆c + 2νcη (1) − 2ψ6ε6 + µ3E3), ( β = 1 kBT ) . The dynamic properties of the KD2PO4 type ferroelectrics will be explored within the pro- posed dynamic model [21], based on the stochastic Glauber model [16] ideas. When calculating the 557 R.R.Levitskii et al. dynamic characteristics, we shall restrict our consideration to the four-particle cluster approxima- tion, providing a successful description of thermodynamic characteristics of the crystals [8–10,15]. Using the approach, developed in [18–21], we obtain the following system of equations for the time-dependent deuteron distribution functions: −α d dt 〈 ∏ f σqf 〉 = ∑ f ′    〈 ∏ f σqf [ 1 − σqf ′ tanh 1 2 βε z qf ′(t) ] 〉    , (2.4) where ε z qf ′(t) is the local field acting on the f ′th deuteron in the qth cell, which can be found from the Hamiltonian (2.3). The expressions tanh βεz qf′ (t) 2 are presented in the following form tanh βε z q1 2 = P z 6 σq3 +Qz 61σq2 +Qz 62σq4 +Rz 6σq2σq3σq4 +Mz 61σq2σq3 +Mz 62σq3σq4 +Nz 6σq2σq4 + Lz 6 , tanh βε z q2 2 = P z 6 σq4 +Qz 61σq1 +Qz 62σq3 +Rz 6σq1σq3σq4 +Mz 61σq4σq2 +Mz 62σq3σq4 +Nz 6σq1σq3 + Lz 6 , tanh βε z q3 2 = P z 6 σq1 +Qz 61σq4 +Qz 62σq2 +Rz 6σq1σq2σq4 +Mz 61σq1σq4 +Mz 62σq1σq2 +Nz 6σq2σq4 + Lz 6 , tanh βε z q4 2 = P z 6 σq2 +Qz 61σq3 +Qz 62σq1 +Rz 6σq1σq2σq3 +Mz 61σq2σq3 +Mz 62σq1σq2 +Nz 6σq1σq2 + Lz 6 . (2.5) Since σqf = ±1, we find for the coefficients P6, . . . , L6: P z 6 = 1 8 (lz1 − lz2 + nz 1 − nz 2 +mz 1 −mz 2 +mz 3 −mz 4), Qz 61 = 1 8 (lz1 − lz2 − nz 1 + nz 2 +mz 1 +mz 2 −mz 3 −mz 4), Qz 62 = 1 8 (lz1 − lz2 − nz 1 + nz 2 −mz 1 −mz 2 +mz 3 +mz 4), Rz 6 = 1 8 (lz1 − lz2 + nz 1 − nz 2 −mz 1 +mz 2 −mz 3 +mz 4), Nz 6 = 1 8 (lz1 + lz2 + nz 1 + nz 2 −mz 1 −mz 2 −mz 3 −mz 4), Mz 61 = 1 8 (lz1 + lz2 − nz 1 − nz 2 +mz 1 −mz 2 −mz 3 +mz 4), Mz 62 = 1 8 (lz1 + lz2 − nz 1 − nz 2 −mz 1 +mz 2 +mz 3 −mz 4), Lz 6 = 1 8 (lz1 + lz2 + nz 1 + nz 2 +mz 1 +mz 2 +mz 3 +mz 4), (2.6) where we use the following notations lz1 2 = tanh β 2 [ ±w + (δs6 + δ16)ε6 + zz 6 β ] , nz 1 2 = tanh β 2 [ ±(w − w1) − δ16ε6 + zz 6 β ] , mz 1 4 = tanh β 2 [ ±(ε− δa6ε6 − w) − δ16ε6 + zz 6 β ] , mz 2 3 = tanh β 2 [ ∓(ε+ δa6ε6 − w) − δ16ε6 + zz 6 β ] . Taking into account the symmetry of distribution functions η(1)z = 〈σq1〉 = 〈σq2〉 = 〈σq3〉 = 〈σq4〉, η(3)z = 〈σq1σq2σq3〉 = 〈σq1σq3σq4〉 = 〈σq1σq2σq4〉 = 〈σq2σq3σq4〉, η (2)z 1 = 〈σq2σq3〉=〈σq1σq4〉, η (2)z 2 =〈σq1σq2〉=〈σq3σq4〉, η (2)z 3 =〈σq1σq3〉=〈σq2σq4〉, (2.7) 558 Longitudinal relaxation of mechanically free KH2PO4 type crystals from (2.4) with taking into account (2.5) and (2.7), we can obtain a closed system of equations for the time-dependent single-particle, pair, and three-particle deuteron distribution functions in the KD2PO4 type crystals α d dt        η(1)z η(3)z η (2)z 1 η (2)z 2 η (2)z 3        =       c̄11 c̄12 c̄13 c̄14 c̄15 c̄21 c̄22 c̄23 c̄24 c̄25 c̄31 c̄32 c̄33 c̄34 c̄35 c̄41 c̄42 c̄43 c̄44 c̄45 c̄51 c̄52 c̄53 c̄54 c̄55              η(1)z η(3)z η (2)z 1 η (2)z 2 η (2)z 3        +       c̄1 c̄2 c̄3 c̄4 c̄5       . (2.8) Here we use the following notations c̄11 = −(1 − P z 6 −Qz 61 −Qz 62), c̄12 = Rz 6, c̄13 = Mz 61, c̄14 = Mz 62, c̄15 = Nz 6 , c̄1 = Lz 6 , c̄21 = (2P z 6 + 2Qz 61 + 2Qz 62 + 3R6), c̄22 = −(3 − P z 6 −Qz 61 −Qz 62), c̄23 = (Nz 6 +Mz 62 + Lz 6), c̄24 = (Nz 6 +Mz 61 + Lz 6), c̄25 = (Mz 61 +Mz 62 + Lz 6), c̄2 = (Nz 6 +Mz 61 +Mz 62), c̄31 = 2(Nz 6 +Mz 62 + Lz 6), c̄32 = 2Mz 61, c̄33 = −2(1 −Rz 6), c̄34 = 2P z 6 , c̄35 = 2Qz 61, c̄3 = 2Qz 62 , c̄41 = 2(Nz 6 +Mz 61 + Lz 6), c̄42 = 2Mz 62, c̄43 = 2P z 6 , c̄44 = −2(1 −Rz 6), c̄45 = 2Qz 62, c̄4 = 2Qz 61 , c̄51 = 2(Mz 61 +Mz 62 + Lz 6), c̄52 = 2Nz 6 , c̄53 = 2Qz 61, c̄54 = 2Qz 62, c̄55 = −2(1 −Rz 6), c̄5 = 2P z 6 . (2.9) In the single-particle approximation from (2.4) we obtain the following equation for distribution functions α d dt η(1)z = −η(1)z + tanh 1 2 z̄z 6 . (2.10) 3. Dynamic characteristics of a mechanically free K(H1−xDx)2PO4 crystal. Piezoelectric resonance In this section we shall consider vibrations of a thin l× l square plate of a KD2PO4 crystal, cut in the [001] plane, induced by time-dependent electric field E3t = E3e iωt. This field, in addition to the shear strain ε6, also induces diagonal components of the strain tensor εi. For the sake of simplicity, we shall neglect the diagonal strains. Dynamics of deformational processes in KD2PO4 will be described using classical Newtonian equations of motion of an elementary volume ρ ∂2ui ∂t2 = ∑ k ∂σik ∂xk , (3.1) where ρ is the cell volume, ui are the displacements of an elementary volume along the axis xi, σik is the mechanical stress. The shear strain ε6 is determined by the displacements ux = u1 and uy = uz, that is ε6 = εxy = ∂u1 ∂y + ∂u2 ∂x . In our case a shear strain σxy = σ6 is different from zero and [36] σ6 =cE0 66 ε6−e036E3+ 4ψ6 v mz Dz 6 + 2δa6 v̄Dz 6 Ma6− 2δs6 vDz 6 Ms6+ 2δ16 vDz 6 M16 , (3.2) where Ma6 = aa6 − a a6 , Ms6 = sinh(2zz 6 + βδs6ε6), M16 = 4b sinh(zz 6 − βδ16ε6). 559 R.R.Levitskii et al. Thus, ρ ∂2u1 ∂t2 = cE0 66 ∂ε6 ∂y + 4ψ6 v ∂η(1) ∂y + 2δa6 v ∂ ∂y ( Ma6 D6 ) − 2δs6 v ∂ ∂y ( Ms6 D6 ) + 2δ16 v ∂ ∂y ( M16 D6 ) , (3.3) ρ ∂2u2 ∂t2 = cE0 66 ∂ε6 ∂x + 4ψ6 v ∂η(1) ∂x + 2δa6 v ∂ ∂x ( Ma6 D6 ) − 2δs6 v ∂ ∂x ( Ms6 D6 ) + 2δ16 v ∂ ∂x ( M16 D6 ) . At small deviations from the equilibrium we can separate in the systems (2.6) and (2.8) the static and time-dependent parts, presenting the distribution functions, effective displacement fields u1, u2, and the strain ε6 as sums of equilibrium values and of fluctuational deviations η(1) = η̃(1) + η (1) t , η(3) = η̃(3) + η (3) t , η (2) i = η̃ (2) i + η (2) t , (i = 1, 2, 3), ε6 = ε̃6 + ε6t, u1,2 = ũ1,2 + u1,2t, (3.4) zz 6 = z̃6 + z6t = −β∆̃ + 2βνcη̃ (1) − 2βψ6ε6 − β∆t + 2βνcη (1) t − 2βψ6ε6t + βµ3E3t . We substitute the expressions (3.4) into the system of equations (2.8), (2.10), expand into a series over the time dependent terms the coefficients c̄ij , c̄i, limit oneself to linear approximation.

(3.5) The expressions for coefficients of the system (3.5) are given in [36]. Taking into account (3.4), equations for the displacements (3.3) can be rewritten as follows: ρ ∂2u1t ∂t2 = c16 ∂ε6t ∂y + c26 ∂η (1) t ∂y , ρ ∂2u2t ∂t2 = c16 ∂ε6t ∂x + c26 ∂η (1) t ∂x , (3.6) where we use the following notations c16 = cE0 66 + 4βψ6 vD6 f6 − 2β vD6 [ δ2s6 cosh(2z̃6 + βδs6ε̃6) + δ2164b cosh(z̃6 − βδ16ε̃6) +δ2a62a coshβδa6ε̃6 ] + 2β vD2 6 (−δs6Ms6 + δ16M16 + δa6Ma6) 2, c26 = 4 v ( ψ6 − ϕ η 6 D6 f6 ) , We shall look for solutions of the system (3.5) and (3.6) in the form of harmonic waves η (1) t = η(1)(6, x, y)eiωt, η (3) t = η(3)(6, x, y)eiωt, η (2) 1t = η (2) 1 (6, x, y)eiωt, η (2) 2t = η (2) 2 (6, x, y)eiωt, η (2) 3t = η (2) 3 (6, x, y)eiωt, ε6t = ε6(x, y)e iωt, u1t = u1(y)e iωt, u2t = u2(x)e iωt. (3.7) 560 Longitudinal relaxation of mechanically free KH2PO4 type crystals Finally, solving the system (3.5) with taking into account (3.7), we find that η(1)(6, x, y) = βµ3 2 F (1)(αω)E3 + [ −βψ6F (1)(αω) +βδs6F (1) s (αω) − βδa6F (1) a (αω) + βδ16F (1) 1 (αω) ] ε6(x, y), (3.8) where we use the notations F (1)(αω) = p(4)(iαω)4 + p(3)(iαω)3 + p(2)(iαω)2 + p(1)(iαω) + p(0) (iαω)5 + p4(iαω)4 + p3(iαω)3 + p2(iαω)2 + p1(iαω) + p0 , F (1) s (αω) = p (4) s (iαω)4 + p (3) s (iαω)3 + p (2) s (iαω)2 + p (1) s (iαω) + p (0) s (iαω)5 + p4(iαω)4 + p3(iαω)3 + p2(iαω)2 + p1(iαω) + p0 , F (1) a (αω) = p (4) a (iαω)4 + p (3) a (iαω)3 + p (2) a (iαω)2 + p (1) a (iαω) + p (0) a (iαω)5 + p4(iαω)4 + p3(iαω)3 + p2(iαω)2 + p1(iαω) + p0 , F (1) 1 (αω) = p (4) 1 (iαω)4 + p (3) 1 (iαω)3 + p (2) 1 (iαω)2 + p (1) 1 (iαω) + p (0) 1 (iαω)5 + p4(iαω)4 + p3(iαω)3 + p2(iαω)2 + p1(iαω) + p0 .

Taking into account the relations (3.6) and (3.7), we obtain the following wave equations for u1, u2: cE66(αω) ∂2u1 ∂y2 + ρω2u1 = 0, cE66(αω) ∂2u2 ∂x2 + ρω2u2 = 0, (3.10) where cE66(αω) = cE0 66 + 4βψ6 vD6 f6 + 2β vD2 6 (−δs6Ms6 + δ16M16 + δa6Ma6) 2 + 4βψ6 v [ −ψ6F (1)(αω) + δs6F (1) s (αω) + δ16F (1) 1 (αω) − δa6F (1) a (αω) ] − 4ϕ3f6 vD6 β [ −ψ6F (1)(αω) + δs6F (1) s (αω) + δ16F (1) 1 (αω) − δa6F (1) a (αω) ] − 2β vD6 [ δ2s6 cosh(2z̃ + βδs6ε̃6) + 4bδ216 cosh(z̃ − βδ16ε̃6) + δ2a62a coshβδa6ε̃ 2 6 ] . Equation (3.10) can be written as ∂2u1 ∂y2 + k2 6u1 = 0, ∂2u2 ∂x2 + k2 6u2 = 0, (3.11) where k6 is the wavenumber k6 = ω √ ρ √ cE66(αω) . (3.12) We shall look for the solutions of (3.11) in the form u1 = A1 cos k6y +B1 sin k6y, u2 = A2 cos k6x+B2 sin k6x. As a result ε6(x, y) = k6 [ −(A1 cos k6y +A2 cos k6x) + (B1 sin k6y +B2 sin k6x) ] . (3.13) The boundary conditions are set as follows: ε6(0, 0) = ε6(l, l) = ε6(0, l) = ε6(l, 0) = ε0. (3.14) 561 R.R.Levitskii et al. The values of ε0 are determined from (3.2), using the relation (3.10) ε0 = e36(αω) cE66(αω) E3 . (3.15) where e36(αω) = e036 + βµ3 v [ −ψ6F (1)(αω) + δs6F (1) s (αω) + δ16F (1) 1 (αω) − δa6F (1) a (αω) ] . (3.16) Taking into account the boundary conditions (3.14), we find from (3.13) ε6(x, y) = ε0 2 [ −cosk6l − 1 sin k6l (sin k6y + sin k6x) + (cos k6y + cos k6x) ] . (3.17) Using the expression, relating polarization P3 to the order parameter η(1) and strain ε6, as well as relation (3.8), we find that P3(x, y, t) = P3(x, y)e iωt, (3.18) where P3(x, y) = e36(αω)ε6(x, y) + χε 33(αω)E3 , and χ33(αω) = χε0 33 + βµ2 3 2v F (1)(αω). Now we can calculate the dynamic dielectric susceptibility of a free crystal χσ 33(αω) χσ 33(αω) = 1 l2 ∂ ∂E3 l ∫ 0 l ∫ 0 P3(x, y)dxdy. (3.19) Taking into account (3.17), we find that 1 l2 l ∫ 0 l ∫ 0 dxdyε6(x, y) = 2ε0 k6 tan k6l 2 = ε0 R(ω) , (3.20) where 1 R(ω) = 2 k6l tan k6l 2 . With (3.18) and (3.20) from (3.19) we obtain that χσ 33(αω) = χε 33(αω) + 1 R(ω) e236(αω) cE66(αω) . (3.21) 4. Attenuation and velocity of ultrasound in KD2PO4 crystals Pulsed ultrasonics provide a useful method for the investigation of crystal behavior. The ultra- sound wavelength is usually much smaller than the sample dimensions. Therefore, the dynamical variables, such as elementary displacements and order parameter, depend only on the spatial co- ordinate which is the direction of sound propagation. If thin bars of the crystal are cut along [001], then we shall consider a transverse sound wave propagating along the bar and polarized along [010]. Among ∂ui ∂xj the only nonzero derivative is 562 Longitudinal relaxation of mechanically free KH2PO4 type crystals ∂u2 ∂x ; therefore, instead of the systems (3.5) and (3.6), we can write d dt        η (1) t η (3) t η (2) 1t η (2) 2t η (2) 3t        =       c11 c12 c13 c14 c15 c21 c22 c23 c24 c25 c31 c32 c33 c34 c35 c41 c42 c43 c44 c45 c51 c52 c53 c54 c55              η (1) t η (3) t η (2) 1t η (2) 2t η (2) 3t        + βψ6ε6t       c1 c2 c3 c4 c5       −βδs6ε6t       c1s c3s c21s c22s c23s       + βδa6ε6t       c1a c3a c21a c22a c23a       − βδ16ε6t       c̃11 c̃21 c̃31 c̃41 c̃51       , ρ ∂2u2t ∂t2 = c16 ∂ε6t ∂x + c26 ∂η (1) t ∂x . (4.1) Solving the system (4.1), we obtain the same wavenumber as found above k6 = ω √ ρ √ cE66(αω) . (4.2) Using (4.2), we can find the sound wave velocity v66(ω) = ω Re|k6| = Re √ cE66(αω)√ ρ (4.3) and the contribution of the pseudospin subsystem to the sound attenuation α6(ω) = α60 − Im|k6| = α60 − Im ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ω √ ρ √ cE66(αω) ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ , (4.4) where α60 is a constant frequency and temperature independent contribution of the other mecha- nisms to the experimentally observable attenuation. 5. Discussion Let us evaluate the above found dynamic characteristics of mechanically free K(H1−xDx)2PO4 crystals, cut as l × l square plates (l = 1 mm) in the [0,0,1] plane. It should be noted that the developed theory is valid, strictly speaking, for highly deuterated KD2PO4 crystals, only. However, the tunneling in undeuterated crystals is weakened due to short-range interactions [26], which is indicated by the experimentally established relaxational character of ε∗33(ν, T ) dispersion see [15,23– 25] in KH2PO4. Therefore, proton tunneling can be neglected as well as the obtained expressions used for undeuterated KH2PO4. In numerical calculations we shall use the values of the model parameters determined in describing the static and dynamic permittivity of a mechanical free crystal [36] and given in table 1. Unfortunately, no experimental data are available to perform a quantitative comparison of the theoretically obtained temperature and frequency dependences of the dynamic characteristics of mechanically free crystals in the piezoelectric resonance region. In figures 2 and 3 we plot the frequency dependences of the real and imaginary parts of the dynamic dielectric permittivity of mechanically free KH2PO4, KD2PO4 crystals in the paraelectric phase at different temperatures ∆T . For the MH2XO4 crystals, a resonance dispersion takes place in the frequency range, 3 ·105–3 ·108 Hz, and for KD2PO4 in the 5 ·105–5 ·108 Hz range. At ω → 0 563 R.R.Levitskii et al. Table 1.

The dashed lines in figures 2–3 describe the low-frequency permittivity of a clamped crystal. With increasing frequency and temperature ∆T , the amplitudes of the resonance peaks decrease. With increasing temperature ∆T the last resonance peak shifts to higher frequencies. Analogous multi-peak resonance dispersion is also observed in the ferroelectric phase. Above the resonance frequency, the crystal is clamped by the high-frequency field; above 109 Hz the clamped permittivity has a relaxational dispersion. The theoretical frequency curves ε′33(ω) and ε′′33(ω) well accord with experimental data. The resonance dispersion in KH2PO4 is schematically presented in [43] for the ferroelectric phase at 104 − 106 Hz. In figure 4 we show the temperature curves of the real part ε′33(ω, T ) of the free dielectric permittivity of KH2PO4 at different frequencies. Below the frequency of the first resonance peak, the temperature variation of ε∗33(ω, T ) essentially coincides with that of the static permittivity of a free crystal. Near the resonance frequencies, the sharp peaks in the temperature curve of permit- tivity appear, the number of which increases with an increase of frequency, whereas the magnitudes decrease. Upon further increase of frequency, numerous resonance peaks of small amplitude arise around the curve of clamped permittivity. At even higher frequencies the peaks disappear. The resonance peaks for the real and imaginary parts of the permittivity for a given frequency are observed at the same temperature ∆T . The character of piezoelectric resonance curves is different for different crystals considered here. In figure 5 we plot the calculated temperature dependences of the sound attenuation α6 for KH2PO4, K(H0,195D0,805)2PO4 at different frequencies along with the experimental points α6(T ) taken from [41,42].

Near the transition temperature Tc, a sharp increase of attenuation is obtained. In the ferro- electric phase, the attenuation decreases much faster when moving away from the transition than in the paraelectric phase. The dependence of attenuation α6 on the square of frequency ω2 for KH2PO4, K(H0,195D0,805)2PO4 crystals at different temperatures ∆T is shown in figure 6. As one can see, attenuation varies proportionally to the square of frequency. The closer the temperature is to the Curie point, the larger is the rate of this variation. With increasing frequency, starting from ∼ 107 Hz, the theoretical attenuation sharply increases and then reaches a saturation at about 1010 Hz (figure 7). In the paraelectric phase, the cut-off frequency decreases with approaching the transition temperature Tc. The cut-off frequency also decreases with increasing deuteration x. Such high values of attenuation at saturation, in fact, mean the absence of sound propagation. In figure 8 we depicted the calculated temperature dependence of sound velocity v66 for KH2PO4, K(H0,195D0,805)2PO4. 566 Longitudinal relaxation of mechanically free KH2PO4 type crystals −5 0 5 10 15 20 25 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5 5 −5 0 5 10 15 20 25 0 1 2 3 4 5 α 6 , cm−1 ∆T, K ∆T, K 1 2 3 2 3 4 5 4 1 α 6 , cm−1 a) b) Figure 5.

Below 1010 Hz, the magnitude of cE66(ω) is frequency independent; therefore, we calculated the velocity using (8.3) and experimental data for cTE 66 ([44] for KH2PO4 and [42] for K(H0.195D0.805)2PO4) and crystal density ρ. The results are shown in figure 8 by symbols ◦. At the frequency of microwave dispersion of permittivity, a sharp increase of sound velocity v66 should be observed, after which the frequency curve of velocity saturates at about ∼ 1011 Hz. The saturation values of sound velocity are temperature independent. 6. Conclusions Within the proton ordering model with taking into account the shear strain ε6 we explored a dynamic response of the KD2PO4 type crystals to an external harmonic electric field E3. Dynamics of the pseudospin subsystem is described within the stochastic Glauber approach. Dynamics of the strain ε6 is obtained from the Newtonian equations of motion of an elementary volume, with taking into account the relations between the order parameter of the pseudospin subsystem and the strain in the static limit. Expressions for the longitudinal dynamic dielectric permittivity of KD2PO4 crystals are obtained. Evolution of dynamic permittivity with increasing frequency via the piezoelectric resonances (105–108 Hz) to the clamped crystal with the microwave (109–1012 Hz) relaxational dispersion is obtained. Temperature and frequency dependences of sound attenuation α6 and velocity v66 in K(H1−xDx)2PO4 are obtained. An anomalous increase of attenuation in the phase transition region and the temperature curve of sound velocity are described. A presence of cut-off frequency for sound propagation (an anomalous increase of attenuation at frequencies corresponding to the microwave dispersion of the dielectric permittivity) is predicted.
