20. We could not measure the dielectric spectra below 30 cm-1 above 160 K with the transmission geometry of the THz-time-domain spectroscopy since the transmittance is too small to be measured. This is perhaps because the spectral weight in this frequency range is fairly large due to the evolution of the low-frequency optical excitation.

22. The data below 20 cm-1 is derived by the Kramers-Kronig analysis assuming the constant reflectivity.
23. The possible explanation for this discrepancy may be the presence of the much lower frequency optical excitation such as the domain-wall dynamics. The domain-wall excitation is generally observed in the sub-GHz frequency range and often dominates the dielectric property in the audio-frequency range in a variety of the ferroelectrics. Such a low-frequency excitation cannot be captured in the present study and is an issue for the future.
