A comparative Brillouin-scattering study of the broad doublet and acoustic phonons in isotopically substituted SrTi( 18 O 1Ϫx 16 O x ) 3 and ''pure'' SrTi 16 O 3 crystals is presented. The acoustic-phonon frequency is found to decrease as a result of the substitution, but the doublet spectra above 20 K show no obvious differences. The results are examined in connection with the second-sound interpretation of the doublet. Influence of the phase transition on the doublet spectra is discussed.
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.
