It is realized that this mode is fully responsible for the Curie-Weiss behavior of its dielectric permittivity above Tc. Near the phase transition, this phonon frequency softens down to 17 cm-1 and its spectrum can be well modeled as a response of a single damped harmonic oscillator. It is concluded that PbTiO3 constitutes a clean example of a soft-mode-driven ferroelectric system. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-00797857/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-00797857/file/PhysRevD.92.pdf %L hal-00797857 %U https://hal.science/hal-00797857 %~ CNRS %~ L2C %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM-2015-2021
