Anomalous temperature dependence of the damping of the soft mode in an incommensurate phase in the particular cases of Cd2Nb2O7 and Rb2ZnBr4
Kolpakova N. N. , Smolenskii G. A.
The anomalously large and slightly temperature-dependent damping of the soft mode in the Raman spectrum in an incommensurate phase suggests the presence of a phason. As T-^Tt~, the temperature dependence of this damping is determined by an amplitudon.
