-OHO- vibrations in the Raman spectra of paraelectric CsH2PO4 crystal

Polarised Raman spectra in the frequency range of 1500 cm^-1 to 400 cm^-1 are reported for paraelectric CsH₂PO₄ crystal. The spectral features recorded are interpreted by means of factor group analysis applied to the triatomic vibrational units -OHO-.     

Investigation of the metastable state of Na2[Fe(CN)5NO] · 2H2O by optical spectroscopy I. Comparison of the Raman spectra of the ground and metastable state

When excited by the 514.5 nm radiation of an argon ion laser at temperatures below 150 K crystalline sodium nitroprusside Na₂[Fe(CN)₅NO] · 2H₂O can be transformed into an extremely long-living metastable state. The Raman spectra of the crystal in the metastable state and ground state are compared in the range of 50–2350 cm^-1. In the metastable state the ?(NO)-stretching vibration is shifted by more than 100 cm^-1 to smaller frequencies depending on the orientation of the sample with respect to the crystallographic axis. This indicates the population of the antibonding π¹(NO)-orbital. In addition two new vibrations appear at 566 and 422 cm^-1. The other vibrational frequencies of the molecular ion [Fe(CN)₅NO]^2- are scarcely shifted, but relative intensities change.     

Raman scattering from magnons in CoCl2 and FeCl2

One-magnon Raman scattering has been observed in the metamagnets CoCl₂ and FeCl₂. The k = 0 magnon energies are 16 ± 1 cm^-1 at 21 K and 16.4 ± 0.4 cm^-1 at 12 K, respectively and these values are in good agreement with previous AFMR and neutron scattering results. A search for two-magnon scattering in both compounds was unsuccessful, largely because of masking from nearby first-order phonons and a weak temperature dependent broad band at 140 cm^-1 in CoCl₂, which is assigned to two-phonon scattering from acoustic phonons.     

The fundamental band ν2 of D2CO

The ν₂ band of D₂¹³CO in the region of 1570-1760 cm⁻¹ has been analyzed with high accuracy. The limits of the quantum numbers J and K_a are 50 and 16, respectively. The number of the assigned transitions is 3858. A local anharmonic resonance ν₂/2ν₄ at K_a =  8-12 was observed. The Watson’s A-reduced Hamiltonian and anharmonic resonance term were fitted to the observed transitions. The fit resulted in the band center and rotational parameters of the ν₂ band as well as the effective parameters for the 2ν₄ band and anharmonic resonance parameter. The rms deviation of the transitions in the ν₂ band was 0.000364 cm⁻¹.     

Raman and infrared spectra of CdIn2S4 and ZnIn2S4

Four one-phonon Raman lines have been found in CdIn₂S₄ (ZnIn₂S₄) spinels at 92 (72) cm^-1, 186 (184) cm^-1, 246 (253) cm^-1, and 367 (372) cm^-1 for incident photon energies well below the energy gap E_G ～ 2.4 (2.2) eV at 300 K. For photon energies close to E_G, the 367 cm^-1 mode underwent a resonant enhancement in CdIn₂S₄ and four infrared active but Raman forbidden F_1u modes appeared in the CdIn₂S₄ and ZnIn₂S₄ Raman spectra: TO modes at 226 (221) cm^-1 and 309 (312) cm^-1, and LO modes at 274 (272) cm^-1 and 340 (342) cm^-1.     

Temperature dependent Raman scattering in polycrystalline Bi4Ti3O12 thin films

Polycrystalline Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂ thin films were prepared on quartz substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The films were crystallized in the orthorhombic layer perovskite structure confirmed by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The Raman spectra are strongly dependent on temperature. A subtle phase transition in the temperature range 473-573 K exists in polycrystalline BTO thin films, which is evidenced by the disappearance of the Raman band at 116 cm⁻¹ and appearance of a new Raman band at 151 cm⁻¹. The two broad Raman bands centered at the 57 and 93 cm⁻¹ at 300 K break up into clusters of several sharp Raman peaks at 77 K, due to monoclinic distortion of orthorhombic structure at low temperature in the as-prepared Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂ thin films.     

Raman spectroscopy of RuSr2(Eu1.5Ce0.5)Cu2O10 magneto-superconductor

Raman spectroscopy studies are reported for the RuSr₂Eu_1.5Ce_0.5Cu₂O₁₀ (Ru-1222) compound at various temperatures of 300, 250, 200 and 90 K. Three distinct vibrational bands: the first at 110, 140, and 160 cm⁻¹, the second at 295 and 347 cm⁻¹, and third one at 651 cm⁻¹ are seen in Raman spectra of the compound at room temperature. These bands are attached to the Cu atoms’ c-direction, the Ru atoms’ ab-plane stretching and Ru atoms’ c-direction anti-stretching modes. Below 200 K, an extra vibrational mode is also seen at 260 cm⁻¹. Also, with a decrease in temperature, though the Cu vibrational modes remain intact, the Ru atoms’ ab-plane stretching (295 cm⁻¹) and c-direction anti-stretching (651 cm⁻¹) modes shift gradually to higher wave number positions. The frequencies of modes at 260 and 651 cm⁻¹ showed anomalous softening and line-width broadening below 100 K that corroborates well with the spin ordering seen in susceptibility studies. The studied compound is a ferromagnetic superconductor with magnetic ordering of the Ru spins at 200 K and superconductivity below 30 K. A magnetic and electrical transport characterization of the compound is also presented briefly.     

Exciton structure in the u.v.-absorption edge of tetragonal GeO2

Intrinsic, polarized u.v.-absorption of crystalline tetragonal GeO₂ is presented for ∝ in the range 5–10³ cm^-1 at room temperature and below. Sharp-line structure strongly polarized E ⊥ c at 77 K and below is attributed to a weakly-bound direct-forbidden exciton. A close correspondence is noted with experimental results on the SnO₂ isomorph. The previous theoretical and experimental studies on the band structure of tetragonal germania are inconsistent with the present results.     

Strengths and air-broadened widths of H2O lines in the 2950–3400 cm-1 region

Measurements of the strengths and air-broadened widths of 223 lines of water vapor have been made with high resolution in the region 2950–3400 cm^-1. The strength data of the lines in the 2ν₂ and ν₁ bands are analyzed to determine the band strengths and the coefficients of the F factors. The band strengths of the 2ν₂ and ν₁ bands were found to be 1.75±0.08 and 10.3±1.1 cm^-2 atm^-1 at 296 K, respectively. The selection rules of the lines observed in the ν₃ band are forbidden in the symmetric-rotor limit. The majority of the measured strengths of these lines differ from the calculated values because of different asymmetries in the upper and lower vibrational states. Also, Coriolis perturbations in several lines of the ν₁ and ν₃ bands were observed in the strength measurements. The direct method was applied to determine the air-broadened line widths. The results are compared to the computed values of Benedict and Kaplan. There is good agreement between this work and the computed results for line width values greater than 0.05 cm^-1 atm^-1. However, for line widths less than 0.05 cm^-1 atm^-1, the measured values are smaller than the computed widths. A value of 0.018 cm^-1 atm^-1 is given for the width of the line at 3378.071 cm^-1, whereas the calculated value is 0.032 cm^-1 atm.     

Magnon Raman scattering in CoBr2

The one-magnon Raman spectrum of CoBr₂ has been investigated as a function of temperature, and peak frequency, integrated intensity and width parameters obtained. The results obtained for the band energy at low temperature (22.2 ± 0.2 cm^-1 at 5.7.K) are in good agreement with AFMR and neutron scattering results. The one-magnon energy renormalises relatively slowly with increasing temperature and is about 15 cm^-1 at T_N = 19 K, whereas the integrated intensity approaches zero like the magnetization at T_N and the width diverges. A low intensity band at 26.8 ± 1 cm^-1 (7.6K) may be due to two-magnon scattering from spin waves along the c-axis.     

Polarized reflectance spectrum of β-(BEDT-TTF)2PF6

The polarized reflectance spectrum of β-(BEDT-TTF)₂PF₆ was measured over the spectral range from 720 cm^?1 to 25, 000 cm^?1 at 293 K (semiconductive phase) and at 318 K (metallic phase). The infrared band found in the conductivity spectrum, which was obtained by the Kramers-Kronig transformation of the reflectance data, is interpreted as the one associated with inter-band transition.     

High resolution infrared spectrum of the ν1 band of 14N16O2

The infrared spectrum of the ν₁ band of ¹⁴N¹⁶O₂ has been recorded with a resolution of about 0.025 cm^?1 in the region extending from 1480 to 1270 cm^?1. From about 1350 cm^?1, the absorption became progressively weaker and no absorption at all could be detected below the band origin located at 1319.797 cm^?1. Because series with low values of K_a could not be measured, constants which depend strongly upon the molecular asymmetry could not be determined.     

Shock-tube measurements of the band strengths of HBO2 and OBF in the short wavelength infrared

Shock-tube measurements are described for the quantitative spectral measurement of the i.r. signatures and band strengths of molecular boron species. The boron species were effectively isolated under conditions of optimum concentration and calculated thermodynamic conditions using the shock tube technique. Spectral measurements were performed using a scanning i.r. spectrometer which was specially designed for these experiments. System calibration experiments were performed using shock heated CO and CO₂ mixtures in diluent argon, and the measured band strengths were in excellent agreement with the accepted values for these molecules. Quantitative spectral measurements were performed on the HBO₂ fundamentals at 2.7 and 5.0 μm and OBF at 5.0 μm. The corresponding band strength values measured for these band systems were 650, 1375, and 1760 cm^-2 amagat^-1, respectively.     

Spectral intensities of the 4-μm ν1 + ν3 combination band of SO2

The transition intensities of the 4-μm bands of SO₂ are measured with high precision using a tunable laser difference-frequency spectrometer. The band strength calculated from the ν₁ + ν₃ combination band data at 295.2K is S_v⁰ = 10.54 ± 0.04 cm^?2 atm^?1. Here the uncertainty (three standard deviations) quoted is for the relative precision only; the absolute accuracy, which depends on the sample pressure calibration, is ～1%. F-factors and “hot” band results are also obtained.     

Band model analysis of the H2O2ν6(b) band

A Mayer-Goody random band model with a Voigt line profile is used to derive interval absorption coefficients, mean line spacings, and pressure-broadening coefficients for the ν₆(b) H₂O₂ band centered at 1265 cm^?1 at 285°K.     

A polarized micro-Raman study of a 0.65PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 - 0.35PbTiO3 single crystal

Polarized micro-Raman spectra of a 0.65PbMg_1/3Nb_2/3O₃-0.35PbTiO₃ (0.65PMN-0.35PT) single crystal poled in the [001] direction are obtained in a wide frequency range (50-2000 cm^-1) at different temperatures. The best fit to the Raman spectrum at 77 K is achieved using 17 Lorenzians to convolute into it, and this is proved to be a reasonable fit. According to the group theory and selection rules of overtone and combinational modes, apart from the seven Raman modes that are from first-order Raman scattering, the remaining ones are attributed to being from second-order Raman scattering. A comparison between the experimental results and theoretical predictions shows that they are in satisfactory agreement with each other. Our results indicate that at 77 K the sample belongs to the rhombohedral symmetry with the C_3v⁵ (R3m) space group (Z=1). In our study, on heating, the 0.65PMN-0.35PT single crystal undergoes a rhombohedral to tetragonal to cubic phase transition sequence. The two phase transitions occur at 340 and 440 K, which correspond to the disappearance of the soft mode near 106 cm^-1 recorded in VV polarization and the vanishing of the band around 780 cm^-1 in VH polarization, respectively.     

Absorption spectrum of Cs2Mg(SO4)2 · 6H2O:Ni2+ single crystals

The absorption spectrum of Ni²⁺ doped in Cs₂Mg(SO₄)₂ · 6H₂O single crystals has been studied at room and liquid nitrogen temperatures in the range 7000–34000 cm^?1. The observed spectrum is satisfactorily interpreted in terms of cubic ligand field model including spin-orbit coulping. The ligand field parameters evaluated to best fit the observed spectrum are B = 955 cm^?1, C = 3572 cm^?1, Dq = 910 cm^?1 and ξ = 550 cm^?1. The non-ligand field band observed at 77K has been interpreted to be the superposition of vabrational mode of SO₄^2? radical on ₃T_1g(F) band.     

Diode laser measurements of the band strengths of ν3 and ν6 in 12CH3D

A diode laser spectrometer has been used to measure line strengths for 143 transitions in the ν₆ fundamental band of ¹²CH₃D near 9 μm. These line-strength measurements have been used to derive a band strength for ν₆ and ν₃. The band strength derived for ν₆ is 61.7 ± 1.8 cm^?2 atm^?1, and that for ν₃ is 49.3 ± 1.4 cm^?2 atm^?1 at 395 K.

Measurements of the HCN ν3 band broadened by N2

N₂-broadened halfwidths have been measured for 51 absorption lines belonging to the ν₃ fundamental band of hydrogen cyanide (¹H¹²C¹⁴N) near 3311 cm^?1. The data were recorded at room temperature using a Fourier transform spectrometer with a nominal resolution of 0.06 cm^?1. A nonlinear least-squares spectral-fitting procedure was used to obtain both line intensities and collision-broadened halfwidths from scans recorded at several different pressures. The N₂-broadened halfwidths, determined for all lines with J ≤ 25 in both the P and R branches of the band, show the expected distribution with J for broadening by a nonpolar gas. The halfwidth values range from approximately 0.17 cm^?1 atm^?1 near the band center to 0.11 cm^?1 atm^?1 for high-J lines. The band intensity for the ν₃ fundamental derived from these measurements is 236.2 ± 9.5 cm^?2 atm^?1 at 296 K, and empirical coefficients for the vibration-rotation interaction F-factor were also determined.
