摘要
By means of hyper-Raman scattering, a silent soft phonon was observed in beta-quartz for the first time. The soft phonon was found to become underdamped at high temperatures. Both the square of the frequency omega-0(2) and the integrated intensity I0 of the soft phonon were found to obey Landau-Cochran's soft-mode theory. The alpha-beta-phase transition of beta-quartz is found to be well described by a simple displacive-type phase transition with the silent soft phonon, in contrast to many studies which suggest an order-disorder phase transition.
