Abstract
Progress in the study of solid-state phase-transition dynamics using high-resolution light scattering is reviewed. Techniques to enhance contrast include multipass interferometers and resonant reabsorption of stray light. Critical dynamic central peaks arising from several different mechanisms have been observed in the spectra of several solids. Specific examples discussed include Pb5Ge3O4, TbVO4, BaMnF4, and TaSe2.
