| Abstract: | Low frequency modes were observed in a series of alkali halides doped with lead after X-irradiation at 77K. The peak positions of the Raman signals are at 34cm-1 for NaCl:Pb2+, 30cm-1 for KCl:Pb2+,28cm-1 for RbCl:Pb2+ and 22cm-1 for KBr:Pb2+. They are assigned to the inelastic light scattering caused by the local vibration of X-i (Pb+) center, which consists of an interstitial halogen ion stabilized by a substitutional ion Pb+ . Polarized Raman measurements and Behavior Typer(BT) analysis show that the symmetry of the X-i (Pb+) center belongs to the point group C3v A structure model of the X-i (Pb+) center is proposed based on the Raman data and the result of BT analysis. |
