Abstract

Pseudo spins with dimensionality larger than two may be used to describe disordered molecular, or ionomolecular, crystals in which the molecules have several equivalent orientations. We show that such models predict complex ordering schemes for these crystals, we describe the various problems related to the construction of these schemes and apply this technique in detail to the case of NH3(CH2)sNH3CdC1an4d briefly to other similar layered perovskites.
