Zusammenfassung
The present research reports results of lattice dynamics calculations
and temperature-dependent Raman scattering study of the dilithium
molybdate system, Li2MoO4, in the 25-600 C-circle temperature range. The
effects of the temperature duly produced gradual changes, associated
with the disorder and anharmonic effects followed by thermodynamic
instability, leading the structure to a phase transformation.
Calorimetric measurements up to 1000 C-circle corroborated that the
crystal structure experienced gradual modifications, characterized by
changes in the DSC base line. These stated thermal events as well as the
changes in the profile of the Raman spectra, suggested that a phase
transformation is connected with tilting and/or rotations of the MoO4
tetrahedron leading to a disorder in the MoO4 sites. The observation of
one exothermic peak on the DSC curve at about 702 C-circle is related
with the melting in the sample. The experimental results were discussed
based on the mode assignments performed by using lattice dynamics
calculations from where we predicted both wavenumbers and atomic
displacements. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
