Abstract
Studies on infrared and Raman-active phonons in the Aurivillius ferroelectric Bi 2W 2O 9 were performed theoretically. The Raman and infrared phonons were calculated by applying a short-range force constant model using normal coordinates having space group Pna2 1. Sixteen stretching, two repulsive and seventeen bending force constants were used for the calculations of the zone center phonons. The calculated Raman and infrared wavenumbers are in very good agreement with the experimental ones in the literature. Potential energy distribution for this compound has also been investigated for the contribution of each force constant towards the Raman and the infrared wavenumbers.
