Abstract
Time-dependent speckle pattern of paraelectric barium titanate observed in a soft x-ray laser pump-probe measurement is theoretically investigated as a correlated optical response to the pump and probe pulses. The scattering probability is calculated based on a model with coupled soft x-ray photon and ferroelectric phonon mode. It is found that the speckle variation is related to the relaxation dynamics of ferroelectric clusters created by the pump pulse. Additionally, critical slowing down of cluster relaxation arises on decreasing temperature toward the paraelectric-ferroelectric transition temperature. The relation between critical slowing down, local dipole fluctuation, and crystal structure is revealed by quantum Monte Carlo simulation.
