The paper deals with effects of domain boundaries on the THz–frequency range dispersion of the complex dielectric permitivity tensor of lead zirconate. In the case of a sufficiently narrow domain widths (in comparison to the wave–length of the light used in the experiment), the effective–medium average permittivity shows additional peaks identified as geometric resonances, i.e. extraneous excitations created by thematerial interface. Features of the far–infrared reflectivity spectra of the twinned lead zirconate crystal in the limit of narrow and wide domains are estimated with the
help of the damped harmonic oscillator model with paramaters fully determined fromrecent experiments.
