(a, b) RUS spectra as
a function of frequency for a single crystal
of complex 1, stacked up the y axis
in proportion to the temperature at which they were collected. The y axis is amplitude (volts) but has been relabeled as temperature
to reveal the overall pattern of stiffening and softening. Spectra
were collected during (a) cooling and (b) heating between ∼292
and ∼10 K. Highlighted spectra in both stacks indicate the
expected positions of HT → INT2, INT2 → INT1 and INT1
→ LT transitions, with thermal hysteresis between the cooling
and warming data for the two lower transition points. Stars mark the
three peaks that most clearly show the reappearance of resonances
with relatively low attenuation at the lowest temperatures. (c, d) f2 and (e, f) Q–1 data from fitting of selected resonances with an asymmetric Lorentzian
function. Vertical broken lines mark the continuous structural phase
transition at ∼204 K and discontinuous transitions at ∼136/138
and ∼80/88 K. Data shown in black are for the three resonance
peaks marked with stars in (a) and (b). Listed in the captions are
approximate frequencies for each resonance peak used in the fitting
procedure to obtain values of f2 and Q–1.
