The potential force field constants are calculated for rocking, wagging and twisting librational modes of water at 290 K, 80 K and 60 K. The higher value of the potential constant for the rocking mode from the wagging librational mode shows the in-plane bend of the hydrogen bond in lanthanum sulphate crystals.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":81524,"journal":{"name":"Infrared physics","volume":"34 6","pages":"Pages 595-600"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0020-0891(93)90117-P","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"53082152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
