On the Jahn-Teller ferroelectric transition of GaV4S8 — •Jiri Hlinka — Institute of Physics, Czech Acad. Sci., Prague
Recently, the crystal of GaV4S8, a multiferroic system hosting a skyrmion lattice phase, has been investigated by polarized Raman and IR spectroscopy above and below the ferroelectric phase transition[1]. Phonon spectra were interpreted with the aid of ab initio calculations of the phonon spectra in the ferroelectric phase.
In this contribution, we shall mostly discuss the relevance of Jahn-Teller distortion for the mesoscopic phases and the character of phonon vibrations directly related to the Jahn-Teller distortion.
