Description of lattice anharmonicity observed in ferroelectrics with unusual three-well local potential

For Sn_2P_2S_6 family of uniaxial ferroelectrics, the anharmonic quantum oscillators model, based on local three-well potential for spontaneous polarization fluctuations, has been used for a description of anharmonic properties, namely thermal expansion. The calculated pseudospin fluctuations spectr...
