Abstract
Low energy Raman scattering measurements on samples of K0.76Na0.24TaO3, K0.9Na0.1TaO3 and K0.75Li0.25TaO3 under hydrostatic pressures of up to 60 kbar supply confirming evidence to the hypothesis that the Na+ ions in these crystals are displaced from the centers of the sites they occupy. The pressure Raman experiments also reveal another second order Raman line interpreted as Raman scattering by two TA phonons at M. A line induced by the substitution of Na for K is found to have an energy about equal to the energy of this new second order Raman line. It is shown that if this is a resonant mode it must be an even mode.
