Abstract
Diffuse x-ray scattering measurements on the cubic paraelectric phase of single-crystal PbTiO 3 are presented. No diffuse scattering sheets are found, in contrast to sheets observed in the cubic paraelectric phases of BaTiO 3 and KNbO 3. A quantitative analysis of the diffuse scattering indicates that the soft-mode branch contribution to sheets is negligible in all three ferroelectric perovskites. Differences in the diffuse scattering are explained by differences in the disordering of the local displacements, thus resolving a long-standing controversy.
