摘要：

Inelastic neutron spectra performed at 0.4 K in a single crystal of Tb2Ti2O7, with a magnetic field applied along the [110] direction, confirm the presence of a tetragonal lattice distortion from the nominal cubic symmetry, previously evidenced below 20 K in high resolution x-ray experiments. The signature of the distortion is an inelastic line at very low energy(similar or equal to 0.04 THz),which is also present in the powder inelastic neutron spectra of Tb2Sn2O7.
