Abstract
We present ultrafast x-ray diffraction experiments of the underdamped soft mode in paraelectric KDP. Charge density maps derived from the x-ray data reveal oscillatory electronic charge relocations over interatomic distances, much larger than the sub-picometer nuclear displacements, a hallmark of soft-mode behavior.
