description

The results of hybrid density functional theory calculations on phonons in Sr(Fe(x)Ti(1-x))O(3) solid solution within the formalism of a linear combination of atomic orbitals are presented. The phonon density of states (DOS) calculated for 6.25% Fe(4+) impurities is reported and defect-induced phonon modes are identified. Based on our calculations and group-theoretical analysis, we suggest for the first time an interpretation of experimentally observed Raman- and IR-active modes.
