Abstract

A simple one dimensional diatomic chain model is proposed to explain the reflectivity spectra of TmTe as observed by Wardet al. It is suggested that the system undergoes a structural phase transition of order-disorder type at 4.2 K, where the new phase assumes an anti-ferroelectric type of arrangement of the atoms. The results, we obtained, agree well qualitatively with the experimental results.
