D. Khatib et al., THEORY OF ANISOTROPIC OXYGEN POLARIZABILITY IN THE TETRAGONAL PHASE OF BATIO3, Ferroelectrics. Letters section (Print), 24(1-2), 1998, pp. 49-54
Anisotropic oxygen polarizability in the tetragonal phase of BaTiO3 is
discussed taking into account of dipole-dipole interaction due to the
electronic polarization and the, lattice deformation. In this microsc
opic model, we have assumed that the dominant source of the optical pr
operties is the anisotropy of the oxygen polarizability, particularly
the contribution of the oxygen O-2. It is found that the calculated re
sults are in good agreement with the experimental data.
