Abstract
The vibrational properties of orthorhombic MgCu2O3 compound have been investigated within the framework of the density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) as well as experimentally, to validate the computational results. MgCu2O3 was synthesized by solid-state reaction and characterized by synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The DFT + U-based first principle calculations were performed to obtain the correct electronic ground state and the band structure of this compound. The same DFT + U methodology was employed along with DFPT calculations for obtaining vibrational properties: phonon density of states and phonon band structure. The atomic vibrations for each mode were also analyzed, and the Raman and the IR active modes are identified. Experimentally observed Raman and infrared (IR) spectra agree well with the computed ones.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Raman Spectroscopy is an international journal dedicated to the publication of original research at the cutting edge of all areas of science and technology related to Raman spectroscopy. The journal seeks to be the central forum for documenting the evolution of the broadly-defined field of Raman spectroscopy that includes an increasing number of rapidly developing techniques and an ever-widening array of interdisciplinary applications.
Such topics include time-resolved, coherent and non-linear Raman spectroscopies, nanostructure-based surface-enhanced and tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopies of molecules, resonance Raman to investigate the structure-function relationships and dynamics of biological molecules, linear and nonlinear Raman imaging and microscopy, biomedical applications of Raman, theoretical formalism and advances in quantum computational methodology of all forms of Raman scattering, Raman spectroscopy in archaeology and art, advances in remote Raman sensing and industrial applications, and Raman optical activity of all classes of chiral molecules.
