Özet

Ferroelastic lead phosphate-type (LP) crystals undergo a sequence of phase transition R (3) over barm-C2/c and R (3) over barm-P2(1)/c[1]. The ferroic domain pattern depends on the spontaneous strain which can be diluted by the chemical composition. Light scattering from ferroelastic materials and its computer model was presented by T-matrix method at the structural phase transition. We discussed numerical procedure of T-matrix method and improved new computer program to calculate the scattering properties for domain structure of LP-type ferroelastic materials. Then, we report results of these calculations for polydispersive, randomly oriented spheroid with a refractive index, different semi-axis ratios and different size parameters. The calculation results are very close to our previous study of light scattering by spherical, cylindrical structures and convex particles.
