Abstract
In order to study the dynamical properties of cesium silanide CsSiH3, we have measured the 1H and 133Cs nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and spin-lattice relaxation rates in this compound over the temperature range of 5 K to 354 K. The results of the 1H NMR measurements indicate that [SiH3]- anions in CsSiH3 retain unusually high reorientational mobility down to low temperatures. In particular, a significant narrowing of the proton NMR spectrum due to [SiH3]- reorientations is observed in the range of 10 K to 14 K. The order-disorder (βarrow}α) phase transition accompanied by the strong acceleration of [SiH3]- reorientations is found to be 41(4) meV. The 133Cs NMR results are consistent with the onset of diffusive motion of Cs+ cations at the frequency scale of approximately equal to} 104s-1 above 300 K.
