Abstract
Impurity modes are observed in crystals of KTaO3 doped with Na and Li, using differential Raman spectroscopy. One of the modes is shown to soften as the temperature approaches the ferroelectric transition temperature. Analysis of the results shows that the Na and Li ions do not occupy center of inversion positions. The roll of this observation in the inducement of ferroelectricity in these crystals is briefly discussed.
