Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / Neste trabalho utilizamos a tÃcnica de espectroscopia Raman para investigar as caracterÃsticas dos fÃnons de duas sÃries de cristais contendo elementos terras-raras: (i) arsenatos de terras-rara (REAsO4) e (ii) molibdatos de terras-rara (RE(MoO4)3).
Para a sÃrie REAsO4 interpretamos os resultados de modo sistemÃtico baseado na estrutura tetragonal do tipo zircon destes compostos. Utilizamos correlaÃÃes com outras publicaÃÃes para fazer a designaÃÃo dos modos observados. Notamos que as frequÃncias dos modos internos do tetraedro AsO4 aumenta a medida que nÃmero atÃmico do elemento RE aumenta. Este aumento parece estar relacionado com a diminuiÃÃo das distÃncias das ligaÃÃes RE â O. Entretanto, esta diminuiÃÃo nÃo foi observada de maneira marcante para os modos de baixa frequÃncia.
Para a sÃrie RE2 (MoO4)3 (RE = Sm, Eu, Gd and Tb), observamos que os espectros Raman exibem menos modos do que aqueles previstos pela anÃlise de teoria de grupos. Devido à sobreposiÃÃo das bandas, conseguimos designar com certeza apenas os modos n1 e n3 do tetraedro MoO4. Observamos que as vibraÃÃes dos tetraedros II e III sÃo degenerados. A frequÃncia dos modos n1e n3 aumentam ligeiramente quando o elemento RE varia de Sm atà Tb, e isto deve estar relacionado com a contraÃÃo da cÃlula ortorrÃmbica. TambÃm registramos os espectros Raman dos compostos REGd((MoO4)3) (RE = Sm, Er e Tb). NÃo foram observadas alteraÃÃes significativas nos espectros Raman. No entanto, quando Mo à parcialmente substituÃdo por W, um modo de alta freqÃÃncia adicional aparece no espectro de Raman. / The Raman spectroscopy technique was used to investigate the room-temperature phonon characteristics of two series of single crystals containing rare-earth elements: (i) the rare-eartharsenates (REAsO4), RE=Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Tm, Yb, and Lu) and (ii) the rare-earth molybdates (RE2(MoO4)3).
For the REAsO4(RE=Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Tm, Yb, and Lu)series the Raman data were interpreted in a systematic manner based on the known tetragonal zircon structure of these compounds, and assignments and correlations were made for the observed bands. We found that the wavenumbers of the internal modes of the AsO4 tetrahedron increased with increasing atomic number. This increase seems to be correlated to the contraction of the REâO bond length. For three out of four lattice wavenumbers observed, this tendency was not nearly so marked as in the case of the internal mode wavenumber.
For the RE2(MoO4)3(RE = Sm, Eu, Gd and Tb) series the Raman spectra exhibit fewer bands than those predicted by the group theory analysis. Due to the large band overlap, correct assignment was given only to the n1 and n3 modes of the MoO4tetrahedra. We observe that the vibrations from tetrahedra II and III are degenerated. The slightly increase of the frequency of the modes n1 and n3 as RE goes from Sm to Tb is likely to be related to the contraction of the orthorhombic cell. We also recorded the Raman spectra of REGd((MoO4)3) (RE = Sm, Er and Tb). No changes were observed. However, when Mo is partially substituted by W, an extra high-frequency mode appears in the Raman spectrum.
