Abstract
We report measurements of Raman spectra and infrared-absorption spectr a of hexagonal BaMnO3 in its polycrystalline form. The results are dis cussed in the framework of a group-theoretical analysis of the allowed zero-wave-vector phonons in this compound. The temperature dependence of the frequency and linewidth of various Raman-active modes is measu red and attributed to the anharmonic terms in the vibrational potentia l energy of the lattice.
