Ceramics of the Ca2CuO3 cuprate with a purely chain copper-oxygen structure
is synthesized. The Raman spectra of ceramic samples are recorded upon exc
itation in a broad spectral range from the blue-green to near-IR region. Th
e intensities of a number of lines and bands of different scattering orders
are estimated using the internal reference method. The results are compare
d with physical and chemical models of the process. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/In
