Na. Davydova et al., RAMAN-STUDY OF THE INTERPOLYTYPE PHASE-TRANSITION IN THE LAYER PBI2 CRYSTALS, Journal of molecular structure, 347, 1995, pp. 371-377
The Raman and reflection spectra have been measured on layer crystals
PbI2 at room and liquid helium temperatures, respectively. The occurre
nce of a laser induced 4H double right arrow 2H polytype transition in
PbI2 has been observed via the low-frequency shift of the shear-defor
mation mode in Raman spectrum and the appearance in reflection spectru
m a new exciton transition.
