Raman and Hyper Raman opalescence on the soft mode in barium sodium niobate crystals
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract A strong increase in the spectral intensity of Raman scattering (Raman opalescence effect) at the polar soft mode, responsible for the instability of the crystalline lattice, near ferroelectric phase transition points in the barium sodium niobate (BSN) crystal was found. Raman opalescence is explained as a consequence of a sharp increase in the amplitude of the transverse A1(Z; TO) polar optical soft mode near the temperature of the ferroelectric phase transition in BSN (Tc = 830 K). Experimental results were obtained using a new experimental technique, based on the construction of isofrequency temperature dependences, when registering the spectral intensity of Raman scattering at fixed frequencies of the spectrometer, near the frequency of the exciting line, for certain polarization geometry. The conditions for observing the effects of Hyper Raman opalescence near the phase transition temperature in the BSN are established.
