The elastic properties of KF-substituted perovskite lead titanate ( PbTiO 3) were investigated by dielectric measurements and Brillouin light scattering. The ferroelectric phase transition occurred at substantially lower temperature due to KF substitution, which was attributed to the modification of the covalency in Pb – O and Ti – O bonds. The longitudinal acoustic (LA) mode of KF-substituted PbTiO 3 showed a frequency softening in the paraelectric phase, which was accompanied by increasing acoustic damping. This indicated that polarization fluctuations responsible for the acoustic anomalies were enhanced by KF substitution.

Temperature dependences of PbHPO4 single-crystal lattice parameters were measured by the ratio method in the range 158–421 K. Below the ferroelectric phase transition (T c = 310 K) lattice parameter b increases non-linearly with decreasing temperature while all others decrease linearly. The ratio method was generalized to the monoclinic crystal system for this purpose.
