Soft-Phonon Couplings in the Pressure-Induced Phase Transition in SbSI

Abstract
The Raman spectra of the soft-phonon behavior in the ferroelectric transition in SbSI is studied by means of a new technique in which the phase transition is induced by hydrostatic pressure. The crystal temperature is maintained constant and the ferroelectric transition is created by a linear shift of the Curie temperature. Evidence is provided for the existence of two distinct mode couplings involving three phonons.
