Lattice Dynamics in PMN

Abstract

Lattice dynamics for five ordered PMN supercells were calculated from first principles by the frozen phonon method. Maximal symmetries of all supercells are reduced by structural instabilities. Lattice modes corresponding to these instabilities, equilibrium ionic positions, and infrared reflectivity spectra were computed for all supercells. Results are compared with our experimental data for a chemically disordered PMN single crystal.
