Abstract
A Raman study of the double-perovskite system La(2x)/3LixTiO3 is presented. The in-plane vibration of Ti cations shows a soft-mode behavior on lowering the temperature, though the softening ceases below 60 K. The freezing-in of the atomic displacements involved would result in an antiferroelectric order, but the tendency to instability is suppressed by structural disorder arising from lithium doping and incomplete cation ordering in the A site of the perovskite.
