Abstract

We have performed inelastic neutron scattering experiments on calcite in the ordered phase, focusing on a zone boundary F-point that shows X-ray diffuse scattering. At this position we have observed an incipient soft mode along with a column of inelastic scattering ranging in energy between the soft mode energy and zero energy. The intensity of this scattering varies dramatically with temperature, and is described by an Arrhenius relation with an activation energy of 1035 K.
