Abstract
Electric-field-induced structural transition of a single crystal grown in the (001) direction was studied by use of Raman scattering spectroscopy. By comparing the changes in Raman spectra induced by the electric field with the temperature-dependent changes, we could confirm that the structural transition to tetragonal phase is initiated at a threshold electric field and completed at higher transition field In the electric-field range from to it is found that rhombohedral and tetragonal phases coexist. The lower threshold field is found to coincide with the field at which the strain rises abruptly in the strain electric-field hysteresis loop while the upper threshold field corresponds to the electric field where a slope change is observed in the high-field saturation region beyond the hysteresis loop.
