Single‐crystal Raman spectroscopy of natural leiteite (ZnAs₂O₄) and comparison with the synthesised mineral

Abstract

The oriented single-crystal Raman spectrum of leiteite has been obtained and the spectra related to the structure of the mineral. The intensities of the observed bands vary according to orientation, allowing them to be assigned to either A g or B g modes. A g bands are generally the most intense in the CAAC spectrum, followed by ACCA, CBBC, and ABBA whereas B g bands are generally the most intense in the CBAC followed by ABCA. The CAAC and ACCA spectra are identical, as are those obtained in the CBBC and ABBA orientations. Both cross-polarised spectra are identical. Band assignments were made with respect to bridging and non-bridging As-O bonds.

Quantifying the Short-Range Order in Amorphous Silicon by Raman Scattering

“…The only disadvantage, being a weak phenomenon, has been taken care of in the instrumentation because of the availability of very good source and detectors making it an unmatchable characterization tool used by scientists across all the disciplines. Raman scattering is not only a probe to study the phase identification, , chemical compositions, , and level of doping , but it also has shown a promising potential for acting as a sensitive probe to monitor various physical phenomena taking place at microscopic levels, such as confinement, ,− defect structures, and crystalline nature of materials . Because of its immense advantages and broader acceptability, Raman spectroscopy has not lagged behind even in understanding different phenomena in comparatively newer but exceptionally important field of nanosciences and nanotechnology. , At times, Raman spectroscopy has been proved to be superior to other methods for quantification of various physical parameters, such as size, , level of doping, , electron–phonon interaction, etc., of Si by theoretically calculated Raman line shape and fitting it with the experimentally observed data.…”
