摘要:

用(200)B. Z附近的高分辨非弹性冷中子散射研究了弛豫$KTa_{1-x}Nb_xO_3$(x=0.15-0.17)单晶中横声(TA)声子的阻尼($Γ_a$)。不存在漫散射的点,尽管它存在于(110)附近。在以相变为中心的较宽温度范围内,T= 195 K-108 K,TA声子宽度(阻尼)在动量q=0.07附近呈现阶跃增加,在q=0.09-0.12处经历浅的最大值,并保持高至所研究的最高动量q=0.16。这些实验结果解释的TA声子之间的共振相互作用和集体或相关的重取向通过隧道的偏离中心的Nb+5离子。所观察到的TA阻尼成功地再现在一个简单的模型,其中包括TA声子和色散的本地化模式(LM)与频率$ω_L$和阻尼$Γ_L$($Γ_L < ω_L$),本身耦合到横向光学(TO)模式之间的相互作用。TA声子的最大阻尼发生在其频率为$ω_a \approx{ω_L}$时。$ω_L$和$Γ_L$对温度的依赖性不大,但共振阻尼的振子强度$M_2$在$T\sim{150 K-120 K}$范围内有一个很强的最大值,在这个范围内,中子在(110)B. Z附近发生漫散射。点也是最大的,并且介电磁化率表现出弛豫行为。M的最大值似乎是由于极性纳米畴的数量增加。为了支持所提出的模型,观测值的$ω_L$被发现是类似的估计先前获得的Girshberg和Yacoby。或者,TA声子阻尼可以成功地安装在一个经验的Havriliak-Negami(HN)松弛模型,其中包括一个强大的共振类瞬态贡献的框架。

英文摘要:

The damping ($Γ_a$) of the transverse acoustic (TA) phonon in single crystals of the relaxor $KTa_{1-x}Nb_xO_3$ with x=0.15-0.17 was studied by means of high resolution inelastic cold neutron scattering near the (200) B.Z. point where diffuse scattering is absent, although it is present near (110). In a wide range of temperatures centered on the phase transition, T=195K-108K, the TA phonon width (damping) exhibits a step increase around momentum q=0.07, goes through a shallow maximum at q=0.09-0.12 and remains high up to the highest momentum studied of q=0.16. These experimental results are explained in terms of a resonant interaction between the TA phonon and the collective or correlated reorientation through tunneling of the off-center Nb+5 ions. The observed TA damping is successfully reproduced in a simple model that includes an interaction between the TA phonon and a dispersionless localized mode (LM) with frequency $ω_L$ and damping $Γ_L$ ($Γ_L < ω_L$), itself coupled to the transverse optic (TO) mode. Maximum damping of the TA phonon occurs when its frequency $ω_a \approx{ω_L}$. $ω_L$ and $Γ_L$ are moderately dependent on temperature but the oscillator strength, $M_2$, of the resonant damping exhibits a strong maximum in the range $T\sim{150 K-120 K}$ in which neutron diffuse scattering near the (110) B.Z. point is also maximum and the dielectric susceptibility exhibits the relaxor behavior. The maximum value of M appears to be due to the increasing number of polar nanodomains. In support of the proposed model, the observed value of $ω_L$ is found to be similar to the estimate previously obtained by Girshberg and Yacoby. Alternatively, the TA phonon damping can be successfully fitted in the framework of an empirical Havriliak - Negami (HN) relaxation model that includes a strong resonance-like transient contribution.
