Description

Raman scattering spectra of a KH2PO4 (KDP) single crystal have been obtained under various temperature and pressure conditions. It was observed that (i) the peak around 1310 cm-1 is not a single peak as reported previously but consists of two components and (ii) in the ferroelectric phase the 1013, 1306 and 1315 cm-1 peaks become obscure near the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase boundary. Furthermore, they show positive pressure shifts and the pressure coefficients are obtained. An interpretation is proposed for the origins of these Raman peaks
