摘要
Neutron inelastic scattering measurements of the polar transverse optic phonon mode dispersion in the cubic relaxor Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)(0.92)Ti0.08O3 at 500 K reveal anomalous behavior in which the optic branch appears to drop precipitously into the acoustic branch at a finite value of the momentum transfer q = 0.2 Angstrom(-1) measured from the zone center. We speculate that this behavior is the result of nanometer-sized polar regions in the crystal.
