Abstract: | Barium sodium niobate (BNN) single crystals are studied by IR spectroscopy, time-domain THz transmission spectroscopy, HF
coaxial wave-guide technique and LF dielectric spectroscopy to cover the frequency range 102-1014 Hz in a wide temperature interval. The dielectric response parallel and perpendicular to the polar c-axis is discussed. The ferroelectric transition at T
c
= 830 K is driven by a relaxational soft mode coupled with another central-mode type relaxation which both gradually disappear
on cooling in the ferroelectric phase. Below T
i
the parameters of the expected IR active amplitudon were estimated. The low-temperature permittivity increase on cooling
for the
field direction has been explained by an incipient proper ferroelectric-ferroelastic transition driven by an IR and Raman
active B2-symmetry soft mode.
