Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of the research is to establish a more advantageous situation for the propagation of the second sound in quantum paraelectrics, by exciting the soft phonon mode with a high-power terahertz wave source. In this project, we have developed a portable high-power terahertz souce, established a method of anti-reflection coating on a quantum paraelectric against terahertz radiation, and revealed the physical mechanism of optical generation of coherent heat wave. These achievements are expected to contribute not only to the development of heat-wave science, but also to understanding of the soft mode in ferroelectrics and related materials.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

一般にペロフスカイト型の強誘電体関連物質ではSrTiO3 と同様にソフトモードが存在し,有限のキュリー温度でソフトモードが凍結するものは強誘電体となるが.ソフトモードが明瞭に観測できないものも少なくない.また,キュリー温度が明確に定義できない散漫な相転移を示すリラクサー強誘電体でもソフトモードを観測することは非常に難しいが,本研究におけるテラヘルツ波反射防止処理によるソフトモード励振とハイパーラマン散乱分光は,これらの強誘電体関連物質におけるソフトモード分光の強力なツールともなり得るものと期待される.
