Abstract
First-order Raman scattering of A1g and Eg modes originating from the antiferrodistortive F2u soft mode confirms the cubic-tetragonal (Oh-D4h) phase transition in Sr0.993Ca0.007TiO3, at T0=125 K. Within the cubic and the tetragonal phase first-order Raman scattering of the soft ferroelectric F1u mode (TO1) and of the hard TO2 and TO4 optic modes evidences the existence of Ca2+-centred polar microregions. Their size increases rapidly on cooling towards the ferroelectric ordering temperature, Tc=18 K. Splitting and incomplete softening of the F1u components is consistent with an order-disorder transition into an orthorhombic low-temperature phase with C2v symmetry.Keywords
