Abstract
Raman and infrared spectroscopic measurements were performed and
combined with lattice dynamics simulations in order to describe the room
temperature vibrational properties of the BiMn(2)O5 mullite ceramic. A
total of 13 Raman active modes and 19 infrared active modes were
observed. The lattice dynamics simulation was used to assign the
observed bands and to discuss the phonon behavior of this compound. The
obtained dielectric constant and unloaded quality factor parameters for
BMO ceramic obtained from the infrared data suggest the applicability of
the BiMn2O5 as a possible candidate to microwave applications. (C) 2013
