Abstract
The ferroelectric phase transition mechanism and ultraviolet (UV) photoexcition effect have been investigated in the bismuth layered perovskite Pb2Bi4Ti5O18 by Brillouin scattering using a Sandercock-type tandem Fabry–Perot interferometer. The temperature dependences of Brillouin spectra both with and without UV irradiation were observed around phase transition points. The observed Brillouin spectra include a central peak component that shows an anomaly in the ferroelectric phase transition point TC=450 K. The central peak spectra show narrowing under UV irradiation. The correlation length of the ferroelectric dipole fluctuation should be enhanced with the UV irradiation effect below TC.
