Abstract

Abstract Roman scattering and second harmonic generation in the LiTaxNb1−xO3 solid solutions have been studied. The structure disordering with increasing x was shown to occur first in the cation sublattice due to violation of cation ordering along the polar axis. Further increase of x leads to growth of this disordering and to deformation of the oxygen structure of the crystal. Behaviour of spectral parameters for some lines and of spontaneous polarization indicates the existence of specific concentrations points at x ∼ 0.4 and x ∼ 0.6 with maximal deformation of the crystalline unit cell.
