RAMAN-SCATTERING STUDY OF PHASE-TRANSITIONS IN RBCAF-3

Recent experiments on RbCaF3 have indicated the occurence of structural phase transitions at low temperature. The Raman data presented here confirm the transition at 200 K to be similar to the cubic-tetragonal transition occuring in SrTiO3 and KMnF3: soft modes of A1g and Eg symmetry are observed an...

description Recent experiments on RbCaF3 have indicated the occurence of structural phase transitions at low temperature. The Raman data presented here confirm the transition at 200 K to be similar to the cubic-tetragonal transition occuring in SrTiO3 and KMnF3: soft modes of A1g and Eg symmetry are observed and the spectrum is consistent with D4h crystal symmetry. At 45 K the frequency and damping of the A1g mode begin to increase with further decrease in temperature, both of which suggest the the emergence of a new low-frequency mode of A1 symmetry at this temperature. © 1976.
