Abstract
Raman scattering measurements for LiKSO4 over the temperature range 200 K to 725 K are reported. The results corroborate the occurrence of a phase transition at 700 K and also exhibit two unusual lattice dynamical features viz an invested LO-TO splitting and an increase in the frequency of a normal mode with rise in temperature. A phenomenological explanation for these features is given.
