P. Ney et al., ASSIGNMENT OF THE RAMAN LINES IN SINGLE-CRYSTAL BARIUM METABORATE (BETA-BAB2O4), Journal of physics. Condensed matter, 10(3), 1998, pp. 673-681
A Raman-scattering study performed on beta-BaB2O4 (beta-BBO) at room t
emperature allows us to assign all the vibrational modes detected in t
he Raman spectra. The internal and external vibration modes are proper
ly obtained by taking account of the light polarization, mode contamin
ation and isotope effects. A correspondence between the lattice and th
e free-ring modes is also presented.
