Динамика решеток и барическое поведение фононов в модельных сегнетоэластиках Hg-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=-Br-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=-
AbstractRaman spectra of Hg_2Br_2 model improper ferroelastic crystals have been investigated in a wide range of high hydrostatic pressures. Baric dependences of the phonon frequencies have been obtained; of greatest interest are the observed soft mode originating from the slowest TA _1 acoustic branch at the Brillouin zone boundary ( X point) of the tetragonal phase and the anomalous behavior of this mode. In the ferroelastic phase spectra, the ignition of the second acoustic TA _2 from the same point has also been detected and its baric behavior has been studied. Under sufficiently high pressures, splitting of doubly degenerate phonons with the E _ g symmetry has been observed and explained. The parameters of the Grüneisen constants have been determined from the baric dependences of the phonon frequencies and discussed.
