Above the transition temperature all the calculations are carried out analytically in the cactus approximation of the PPM. Below the transition temperature the dynamical susceptibility is also calculated accurately since the analytical solution of spontaneous polarization in the ferroelectric phase can be utilized. When the temperature is approached from both sides of the transition temperature, only one of relaxation times shows a critical slowing down and makes a main contribution to the dynamical susceptibility. The discrepancy from Slater model (ice-rule limit) is discussed in comparison with some experimental data.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-11-29T12:35:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dynamical susceptibility", "kh2po4-type crystals", "time dependent cluster approximation", "ferroelectric transition temperature", "path probability method" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
