J. Hanuza et al., INFRARED AND RAMAN-SPECTRA AND EXTERNAL-MODE CALCULATIONS FOR M2CU2O5SEMICONDUCTORS (M = IN, SC, Y AND LANTHANIDES FROM TB TO LU), Spectrochimica acta. Part A: Molecular spectroscopy, 49(8), 1993, pp. 1065-1078
The room temperature FTIR transmission and Raman scattering spectra of
M2Cu2O5 (M = In, Sc, Y, Tb-Lu) semiconductors in the 30-700 cm-1 rang
e are examined. A factor group analysis and normal coordinate calculat
ions have been performed to identify the external modes. The Urey-Brad
ley Force Field model and potential energy distribution were applied i
n the phonon calculations. The Y/Er and Y/Gd exchange effects were stu
died and analysed in terms of M3+, ion translation energy.
