Phonon modes and local polar distortions in nanoclusters of Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3crystals probed by terahertz reflectance spectra and Raman scattering
Abstract:Optic phonons and lattice vibrations of Pb(In 1/2 Nb 1/2 )O 3 -Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 -PbTiO 3 single crystals near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) are determined by terahertz (THz) reflectance spectra in a temperature range of 5.5-300 K. Raman scattering is measured with a He-Ne laser with a wavelength of 632.8 nm as the exciting source. On cooling from 300 K, the A 1 component of the splitting TO1 mode hardens, which follows the Cochran law with a critical softening temperature of 761-861 K. Moreover, t… Show more
