The stretching mode of the hydroxyl ions in SrxBa1−xNb2O6 crystals with x = 0.30 to 0.80 has been measured by the FTIR absorption technique. The absorption band at about 3493 cm−1 was composed of a strong main line and a shoulder as well as additional weak lines on the high energy side. The shape of the shoulder depends strongly on the Sr/Ba ratio of the crystal. This allows a rough estimation of the composition. The main absorption band including the shoulder has been decomposed using Lorentzians and Gaussians and the parameters of four components have been determined. The components are attributed to OH- transitions in different cation environments strongly depending on the crystal composition. The temperature dependence of the OH− absorption band did not reveal the phase transition temperature in the 20-200 ∘C range.
