“…As the A 2 modes are Raman-inactive, the BiFe x Cr 1– x O 3 phase can be represented by 13 Raman modes (4 A 1 + 9 E ), but only a fraction of them is usually observed at room temperature. The Raman spectra of the BiFe x Cr 1– x O 3 powders show peaks at 84, 139, 210, 259, and 350 cm –1 , which are characteristic of the BiFe x Cr 1– x O 3 phase. − The two peaks at 139 and 210 cm –1 correspond to the A 1 (LO) modes of the Bi–O bond, the peaks at 259 and 350 cm –1 are related to the different E ( TO ) modes of the Fe–O bonds, and the peak that appears at ∼825 cm –1 corresponds to the Cr–O bond. , Apart from BiFe x Cr 1– x O 3 , no other phases such as Bi 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , or any other Bi compound were observed. As the number of cycle increases, we can see that the peaks become wider and less defined, indicating lower crystallinity.…”
