Figure 6
Displacement patterns in typical Raman modes of Sr2CO4 at 20 GPa. Arrows indicate the displacement of the atoms during the specific vibration. Low-frequency modes [e.g. (a)] are dominated by relative motions of the CO4 groups against the Sr ions. Intermediate frequencies [e.g. (b)] are mainly due to displacements/rotations of the CO4 groups, while the Sr ions are at rest. Raman shifts > 500 cm−1 [(c), (d) and (e)] are due to various bending and stretching vibrations in the CO4 groups, while the Sr ions are at rest. |
