Vibrational fingerprints of LiNbO3-LiTaO3 mixed crystals
The structural and vibrational properties of lithium niobate (LN) - lithium tantalate (LT) mixed crystals (LNT, LiNb1-xTaxO3) are investigated over the whole composition range by first-principles simulations. The crystal volume grows roughly linearly from LT to LN, whereby the lattice parameters a and c show minor deviations from the Vegard behavior between the end-compounds, LiNbO3 and LiTaO3. Our calculations in the framework of the density functional theory show the TO1, TO2 and TO4-modes to become harder with increasing Nb concentration. TO3 becomes softer with increasing Nb content, instead. The frequency shifts of the zone center A1-TO phonon modes for crystals with different compositions are found to be as large as 30 cm-1. Raman spectroscopy, which is sensitive to the A1 modes, can be therefore employed to determine the crystal composition.
