“…In I4/mcm structure five stretching force constants for the nearest neighbours Zn-O2, Nd-O2, Nd-O1, Nd-O2, and Ba-O2 and five bending force constants for angles O1-Nd-O2, O2-Zn-O2, O1-Nd-O2, Nd-Nd-O2 and O2-Nd-O2 were used in the calculations. The force constants were evaluated by fitting the observed ten Raman modes [10]. The A 1g,1 and B 2g,1 Raman modes were reassigned on the basis of group theoretical analysis by analyzing the calculated results in the fitting process.…”
