Abstract

Dispersion curves of the low frequency phonon modes related to the order parameter of the structural phase transition to the incommensurate phase in Sn2P2Se6 crystal are analyzed in the framework of a simple semi-empirical model. It is shown that the phase transition instability appears out of the Brillouin zone center due to the hybridization (eigenvector mixing) of these branches.
