The damping constant for the tetragonal Raman peak at 308cm(-1) is calculated as a function of temperature close to the paraelectric-ferroelectric (T-C approximate to 400K) transition in BaTiO3. Expressions derived for the damping constant from the pseudospin-phonon coupled model and the energy fluctuation model are fitted to the experimental data for the bandwidths and integrated intensities of this Raman mode at various temperatures close to the paraelectric-ferroelectric transition in BaTiO3. The damping constant calculated from the pseudospin-phonon coupled model agrees well with the observed bandwidths of the tetragonal Raman mode studied in BaTiO3. The energy fluctuation model is not satisfactory to explain the observed behavior of the paraelectric-ferroelectric transition in BaTiO3. The experimental data from other sources also show similar critical behavior as our calculated values for the Raman bandwidths in BaTiO3. Our method of calculating the damping constant can be applied to some other ferroelectric crystals.

Calculation of the Raman frequency and the damping constant (linewidth) of the stretching modes for the metal-organic compound DMMg close to the paraelectric-ferroelectric transitions Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2018-01-01) We calculate the Raman frequencies of the two stretching modes of as a function of temperature close to the paraelectric-ferroelectric transition (Tc = 270K) in (CH3)(2)NH2Mg(HCOO)(3) referred as DMMg. By assuming that the Raman frequencies of those two modes which exhibit anomalous behaviour near Tc due to the ordering of the dimethlyammonium cations (DMA(+)) as observed experimentally, are associated with the spontaneous polarization (order parameter), their Raman frequencies and damping constants are pre...
Temperature Dependence of the Raman Frequency, Damping Constant and the Activation Energy of a Soft-Optic Mode in Ferroelectric Barium Titanate Kiraci, A.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2012-01-01) The Raman frequency of a soft-optic mode associated with the order parameter is calculated as a function of temperature from the mean field theory for barium titanate (T-C = 222K). Using the Raman frequencies calculated, the damping constant is evaluated and it is compared with the observed one for this soft-optic mode.
Damping constant and the relaxation time calculated for the lowest-frequency soft mode in the ferroelectric phase of Cd2Nb2O7 Kiraci, A.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2016-01-01) The temperature dependence of the phonon frequency omega(ph) and of the damping constant Gamma(sp) due to pseudospin-phonon coupling of the lowest-frequency soft mode is calculated in the ferroelectric phase near the transition temperature (T-C =196 K) in Cd2Nb2O7. Raman frequency of the soft mode is used as an order parameter which is calculated from the molecular field theory. On that basis, the damping constant is calculated by fitting the expressions from the pseudospin-phonon coupled model and the ener...
Calculation of the Spontaneous Polarization and the Dielectric Constant as a Function of Temperature for KH2PO4 Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2012-01-01) The temperature dependence of the spontaneous polarization P is calculated in the ferroelectric phase (T < T-C) of KH2PO4 (KDP) at atmospheric pressure (T-C = 122 K). Also, the dielectric constant e is calculated at various temperatures in the paraelectric phase (T > T-C) of KDP at atmospheric pressure. For this calculation of P and epsilon, by fitting the observed Raman frequencies of the soft mode, the microscopic parameters of the pure tunnelling model are obtained. In this model, the proton-lattice inte...
Critical behaviour of ammonia near the melting point Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2002-08-01) This study gives our calculations for thermodynamic quantities, such as the isothermal cornpressibility k(T), thermal expansivity alphap and the specific heat C-P, as a function of temperature for solid ammonia near the melting point. Our calculations, which have been performed on the basis of an experimental study given in the literature, show that those thermodynamic quantities diver e near the melting point in ammonia. This is an indication that ammonia exhibits a critical transition as one approaches th...
