The Raman frequency of the coupled mode v À associated with the order parameter is calculated as a function of pressure from the mean field theory in the ferroelecric phase of KDP. Using the frequencies of the coupled mode, the pressure dependence of the damping constant G À is calculated by the proton spin 1 Introduction As a ferroelectric (FE) material, KDP (KH 2 PO 4 ) was discovered [1] and its order-disorder phase transition (T C ¼ 122 K) due to the proton [2] was studied many years ago. This transition is of a second order from the paraelectric (PE) to the FE phase as the temperature decreases at the atmospheric pressure. At room temperature, this FE crystal is in the PE phase with the tetragonal structure and I42d (D
