The temperature dependence of the soft mode frequency and of the displacement parameter, associated with the structural phase transition in perovskite‐type crystals, is calculated from anharmonic lattice dynamics in a selfconsistent way. The theory describes the change‐over from the Landau‐type behaviour to critical behaviour near the phase transition. For SrTiO 3 and LaAlO 3 good agreement is obtained with the experimental data of Müller and Berlinger.
