Abstract
A light-scattering study of the low-frequency excitations in single crystals of cubic and tetragonal KTa{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}Nb{sub {ital x}}O{sub 3} ({ital x}=0.26 and 0.28) has been carried out by employing a technique which uses an Iodine filter to remove elastically scattered light. Low-frequency Raman and Fabry-Perot components related to structural disorder in the mixed-crystal tantalate-niobate system were observed. The spectral shape, symmetry properties, and thermal behavior of these components are consistent with an eight-site order-disorder model of the sequence of structural phase transitions observed in ferrodistortive perovskites.
