abstract

The barium sodium niobate (BNN) with tungsten-bronze structure is one of well-known optical crystals for electro-optic and nonlinear optic applications. This paper reviews the ferroelectric instability of BNN crystals. BNN is a uniaxial ferroelectric with a spontaneous polarization along the tetragonal $c$-axis. There is no report on the observation of an optical soft mode responsible for a ferroelectric phase transition. In the vicinity of the Curie temperature, $T_{\text{C}}=560${\deg}C, an intense central peak (CP) related to the polarization fluctuations along the $c$-axis was observed by the broadband Brillouin scattering experiment. The relaxation time determined by the CP width shows the critical slowing down towards $T_{\text{C}}$. This fact indicates that the ferroelectric instability of BNN is an order-disorder type.
