“…However, the B iso of the O br atom in this system with x ≥ 0.1 does not follow this general trend; instead, it exhibits fairly large values even at 15 K. According to our previous studies, this system possesses structural instabilities at the M-and K-points, leading to two energetically competing soft modes. 10 Mode analyses have revealed that the O br atom shows a remarkable in-plane vibration around the ideal 2d site. In addition, strong thermal diffuse scattering because of these soft modes has been observed in the electron diffraction patterns for x ≥ 0.1 over a wide range of temperatures between 100 and 800 K. 22 Clearly, these soft modes are responsible for the unusually large B iso observed in this study.…”
