Abstract
An anomalous structural effect has been observed and analyzed on LiNbO{sub 3} at low temperature by neutron-diffraction experiments. Two minima in the unit-cell volume at 55 and 100 K related with maxima and minima in the volume vibrational isotropic factors of Li and Nb atoms, respectively, and a change in the curve slope of the spontaneous stress at 55 K have been identified. This fact, together with the shortening in distance of the Li and O layers at 55 K, has been related with variations in the Ps factor through the secondary pyroelectric effect.
