A complete study of the lattice-dynamical behavior of the ferroelectric tetragonal perovskite PbTi O 3 has been carried out using Raman spectroscopy. The temperature dependence of all the long-wavelength mode frequencies are determined. We show that a damped-harmonic-oscillator model with a frequency-independent damping coefficient is sufficient to explain the observed shape of the soft E (1 TO) mode in the ferroelectric phase at all temperatures below T c= 493 C. Moreover, by combining our experimental mode-frequency data with pyroelectric measurements of the change in spontaneous polarization P s with temperature, we obtain values of P s (25 C∘)= 81 μC/cm 2 and P s (T c)= 42 μC/cm 2. This is in excellent agreement with a recent direct experimental measurement. The temperature dependence of all the mode strengths has also been determined to T c. These results are used to extract the temperature dependence of the clamped dielectric constants. In PbTi O 3 the dielectric constant along the ferroelectric axis ε c is determined primarily by the lowest frequency A 1 (1 TO) mode at all temperatures to T c, in contrast to BaTi O 3 where in the ferroelectric phase the lowest mode determines only≈ 2 5% of ε c. In PbTi O 3 the dielectric constant perpendicular to the c axis ε a is also determined by the lowest E (1 TO) mode at all temperatures. The possibility of observing critical effects near T c in the soft-mode data of PbTi O 3 has been examined. These effects are not observed. Also, it is shown that very careful fitting of the soft-mode temperature dependence to a functional form containing a minimum number of separately determined parameters is required before critical effects can be invoked in first-order phase transitions of the displacive type.
