“…The assignment of vibrational modes to the observed peaks in the Raman spectra of pyrochlore compounds is controversial and not consistent among all publications concerned with the pyrochlore and related fluorite compounds. We considered the reported assignments of vibrational modes in many publications [271,272,273,274,275,276,277,278,279,280,281,282,283,284,285,286,287,288,289,290,291,220,292,80,293,224,294,295,296,297,298] to arrive at the most plausible interpretation, however we cannot guarantee the correctness of all of the information presented here.…”
