The paper reports on the first crystal growth and Raman scattering studies in K0.992Rb0.008Ta0.96Nb0.04O3 (KRTN) and KTaO3:Rb (3% mol. in the melt), in which Rb+ ions (ionic radius 1.47 angstrom) substitute K+(1.33 angstrom).

Abstract
The paper reports on the first crystal growth and Raman scattering studies in K0.992Rb0.008Ta0.96Nb0.04O3 (KRTN) and KTaO3:Rb (3% mol. in the melt), in which Rb+ ions (ionic radius 1.47 angstrom) substitute K+(1.33 angstrom). The experiments were performed in the range 10-300 K and focused on the behavior of TO1 and TO4 modes. The results confirm indications by previous dielectric permittivity data about the ferroelectric nature of the phase transition in KRTN. It appears that a small amount of Rb changes the character of the phase transition induced by Nb from mainly displacive to mainly order-disorder, whereas no evidence of ferroelectricity is revealed in the KTaO3:Rb sample.
