PG - 204504 LID - 10.1063/5.0088230 [doi] AB - Wide ranges of absorbance spectra were measured to elucidate a difference in the antiferro-electric (AF) ordering mechanisms below 50 and 168 K in Cs(3)H(SeO(4))(2) and Cs(3)D(SeO(4))(2), respectively. Collective excitations due to deuterons successfully observed at 610 cm(-1) exhibit a remarkable isotope effect. This indicates that the transfer state in the dimer of Cs(3)D(SeO(4))(2) is dominated by a deuteron hopping in contrast to Cs(3)H(SeO(4))(2), where a proton hopping makes a tiny contribution compared to a phonon-assisted proton tunneling (PAPT) associated with 440-cm(-1) def(bend) . The fluctuation relevant to the AF ordering in Cs(3)D(SeO(4))(2) is not driven by the conventional deuteron hopping but by the phonon-assisted deuteron hopping associated with 310-cm(-1) def(bend) . Consequently, Cs(3)D(SeO(4))(2) has a distinct ordering mechanism from Cs(3)H(SeO(4))(2), in which quantum fluctuations toward the AF ordering are enhanced through the PAPT associated with the in-phase libration.
