Abstract

Significant discrepancies were generally reported in the dynamics of BaTiO3 between results deduced from various experimental techniques. Here dielectric and quasi-elastic light scattering measurements are investigated on high-quality BaTiO3 crystals. We show that two relaxators have to be introduced below the soft-phonon frequency. A complete dielectric dispersion in a very wide frequency range is thus achieved which consistently relies the high-frequency dielectric results and the Raman data. There is also a qualitative agreement between our two-relaxator model and the dynamics which were deduced some time ago from EPR experiments.
