The structural phase transition in hexagonal BaMnO$_3$ occurring at $T_c$=130 K was studied in ceramic samples using electron and X-ray diffraction, second harmonic generation as well as by dielectric and lattice dynamic spectroscopies. The…

(1-x)PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3-(x)PbSc1/2Nb1/2O3 (PMN-PSN) solid solution crystals have been grown by the flux method in the whole concentration range. X-ray supercell reflections due to B-cation ordering were observed for as-grown crystals from the…

Phonon polaritons (PhPs) (light coupled to lattice vibrations) in the highly anisotropic polar layered material molybdenum trioxide (\alpha-MoO_3) are currently the focus of intense research efforts due to their extreme subwavelength field…

We report inelastic light scattering measurements of lattice dynamics related to the incommensurate orbital order in $\mathrm{CaMn_7O_{12}}$. Below the ordering temperature $T_\mathrm{o} \approx 250 \,\mathrm{K}$, we observe extra phonon…

A first-principles study of the vibrational modes of PbTiO_3 in the ferroelectric tetragonal phase has been performed at all the main symmetry points of the Brillouin zone (BZ). The calculations use the local-density approximation and…

Diffuse neutron scattering is a valuable tool to obtain information about the size and orientation of the polar nanoregions that are a characteristic feature of relaxor ferroelectrics. In this paper, we present new diffuse scattering…

Temperature dependent studies of the 1/2(hk0) superlattice reflections \alpha spots by synchrotron x-ray scattering measurements were performed in (PMN) and (PMN-xPT) with Ti doping x<0.32 single crystals. Separation of the \alpha spots…

Experimental and theoretical studies of unusual polar, dielectric and magnetic properties of room temperature multiferroics, such as perovskites Pb(Fe$_{1/2}$Nb$_{1/2}$)O$_3$ (PFN) and Pb(Fe$_{1/2}$Ta$_{1/2}$)O$_3$ (PFT), are very…

Lattice and spin excitations have been studied by Raman scattering in hexagonal YbMnO3 single crystals. The temperature dependences of the phonon modes show that the E2 mode at 256 cm-1 related to the displacement of Mn and O ions in a-b…

New approach on interpretation and processing of Raman spectra of complex perovskites is suggested. Raman spectra of $PbMg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}O_{3}$ and $% PbSc_{1/2}Ta_{1/2}O_{3}$ are successfully described on the basis of the phonon-confinement…

We use the frozen phonon method to calculate the anharmonic potential energy surface and to model the ultrafast ferroelectric polarization reversal in LiNbO3 driven by intense pulses of THz light. Before stable switching of the polarization…

Spin wave excitations were measured in the ferromagnetic phase of Nd$_{1/2}$Sr$_{1/2}$MnO$_{3}$ by neutron scattering. This compound is located in proximity to the A-type antiferromagnetic state, and it shows a clear anisotropy and…

The relaxor ferroelectric PbMg_1/3Ta_2/3O_3 was studied by single-crystal neutron and synchrotron x-ray diffraction and its detailed atomic structure has been modeled in terms of static Pb-displacements that lead to the formation of polar…

Polarized Raman scattering measurements have been performed on Na0.5CoO2 single crystal from 8 to 305 K. Both the A1g and E1g phonon modes show a softening below Tc1 ~ 83 K. Additionally, the A1g phonon mode, which is forbidden in the…

The soft modes in the two- and eight-direction order-disorder ferroelectrics are calculated under the mean-field approximation. We find that the conventional method of the pseudospin model to calculate the soft-mode frequency is incorrect,…

The polarized Raman spectra of orthorhombic RMnO3 series (R=La,Pr,Nd,Sm,Eu,Gd,Tb,Dy,Ho,Y) were studied at room temperature. The variation of phonon frequencies with R ionic radius rR as a whole confirms the commonly accepted Raman line…
