Abstract

The study of light scattering anomalies at second order phase transitions in solids started in the fifties with the observation of the “opalescence” at the α ⇄ β transition in quartz(1). After a decade it was shown that this anomaly has a static origin(2). Then in the beginning of the seventies the observation of the temperature dependent central peak in neutron scattering near phase transitions attracted much attention. One of the proposed mechanisms for the central peak was defect-induced scattering (see e.g. Ref. (3)).
