“…3(a) and (b), the Raman peaks are observed at 149, 200, 237, 290, 343, 448, 612 and 655 cm −1 for NaBi 2 Ta 5 O 16 and at 150, 196, 231, 288, 237, 435, 477, 601 and 658 cm −1 for TlBi 2 Ta 5 O 16 . These observed Raman peaks can be assigned to symmetry species by referencing the previous literatures on diverse pyrochlore oxides [13, 14, 15, 16]. It is noticed that more than six Raman bands (predicted for the ideal pyrochlore structures) are observed, which implies the existence of some additional displacements of the A and O′ sites in the bismuth pyrochlore structure [14].…”
