Abstract

Wavelength modulated Raman scattering was used to study the effects of pressure on the second order spectrum of KTaO3. The pressure results lend support to previous identifications of structures in the second order differential Raman spectrum in terms of pairs of phonons from critical points in the Brillouin zone. Using these identification mode Grüneisen parameters are obtained for several vibrational modes. Strong anharmonic behavior of of the TA(X) mode is observed when we correlate the results from pressure measurements with previous studies of the effects of temperature.
