Abstract

A short-range force constant model has been applied in investigating the Raman and infrared modes in insulating Cs2HgCl4 in orthorhombic phase having space group Pnam using normal coordinate analysis. Calculations on zone centre phonons have been made with twelve stretching and three bending force constants. The calculated Raman and infrared wave numbers are in good agreement with the available experimental results. The potential energy distribution has also been investigated for determining the significance of contribution from each force constant towards the Raman and the infrared wave numbers.
