Abstract
The Raman linewidth of the 914 cm-1 line of KH2PO4 in the ferroelectric phase has been measured as a function of temperature. The drastic decrease in linewidth with cooling near Tc is in fair agreement with a recent pseudo-spin-phonon coupling theory. A quantitative correlation has been found between the Raman linewidth, the spotaneous polarization and the proton spin-lattice relaxation time. A search for a similar effect on the corresponding line in KH2AsO4 gave negative results.
