A light scattering experiment has been performed on two SrTi( 1 8 O x 16O 1 - x ) 3 single crystal plates with x = 0.86 (STO18-86) and x=0.53 (STO18-53). Each of the c 4 4 pure transverse acoustic mode and the antifer-rodistortive Eg mode splits into two modes below T c ; T c =27′1 K for STO18-86 and T c =20′2 K for STO18-53. These splits strongly imply that the crystal symmetry becomes lower than tetragonal one below T c , and that the phase transition really occurs at T c . Moreover, the ferroelectric E u soft mode is found above T c , but its softening is not complete. This fact indicates that the phase transition mechanism of SrTi( 1 8 O x 16O 1 - x ) 3 is of displacive type (the instability of the E u mode causes the ferroelectric phase transition), but is not the ideal one. The displacive character is found to become stronger with decreasing exchange rate x in the range x>0.33.
