Elastic precursor softening in proper ferroelastic materials: A molecular dynamics study

Elastic precursor softening in proper ferroelastic materials: A molecular dynamics study

Precursor elastic effects are investigated in a displacive anharmonic spring model and shown to extend greatly into the paraelastic phase. Weak precursor effects can be detected near 2T_{tr}, where T_{tr} is the ferroelastic transition temperature. The precursor effects become strong at T<1.7T_{t...
