Abstract

A central peak (i.e. a low frequency anomaly) has been observed in neutron scattering experiments on TbVO4, above the Jahn-Teller phase transition at T = 33 K (1). The measurements provide what is probably at present the most clearly understood example of a central peak occurring in a structural phase transition, though the frequency width has still to be measured directly.
