The ferroelectric crystal structure of SbSBr is composed of [Sb(S, Br)] 1 chains parallel to the [001] axis. In paraelectric phase, the crystal structure is disordered. The theoretical investigation of dependence of potential energy V P (z) of Sb atoms on amplitudes of B 1u vibration symmetry coordinates along c(z)-axis have showed that each atom is shifted from the xy mirror plane by Dz up or down along [001]. The theoretical investigation of the average potential energy V P ðzÞ of all Sb atoms in unit cell revealed that in paraelectric phase in region of phase transition V P ðzÞ has double-well shape. This strong anharmonicity of V P ðzÞ is created by interaction between phonons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
