Abstract

A microscopic mechanism for the structural phase transition from the orthorhombic mediate temperature (OMT) phase into the low temperature tetragonal (LTT) one is suggested on the basis of the cooperative pseudo Jahn-Teller effect. The local distortions mixing the ground and the first excited electronic states are ordered antiferrodistortively and are connected in part, with the oxygen octahedra rotations around the [100] axis. The results are in agreement, with the neutron scattering experiments data.
