Abstract

Strong far-IR impurity-induced gap modes are observed just below the bottom of the optic phonon band in KI: one for Cl- and the other for Br-. Both of these modes have been predicted using empirical potentials. The agreement between theory and experiment for the two Cl- modes indicates that the impurity displacement is dominant for the higher-frequency one but of little importance for the lower-frequency pocket-like gap mode.
