Abstract: | The pair electron-hole Jahn-Teller effect, which is realized on degenerate states of a vibronic Frenkel exciton (VFE) in soft-mode crystals, is considered. It is shown that the vibronic effect in a VFE can be significantly enhanced in crystals having soft lattice modes. The occurrence of strong local order-disorder fluctuations in this situation is predicted. The manifestations of VFEs localized at impurities in soft matrices (Cr3+ in SrTiO3, Fe5+ in KTaO3, and Mn5+ in TbVO4 and TbPO4) are considered. The possibility of fluctuation effects related to VFEs in nominally pure soft-mode crystals (SrTiO3 and BaTiO3) is discussed. |
