Soft modes condensation in Raman spectra of (Pb–La)(Zr–Sn–Ti)O3 ceramics
Abstract
Low frequency Raman spectra of ((O3 ceramic samples have been studied near cubic to antiferroelectric phase transition at about 200∘C. A set of low frequency soft modes were observed restoring below the transition point, in addition to the known one above 100cm. These modes show strong damping anomalies at the transition point that supposes considerable intermode interactions via dampings.
