Abstract
AbstractPolarized Raman and IR spectra of a PbB4O7 single crystal were measured. The obtained spectra are discussed within the factor group approach for the orthorhombic P21nm(C2v7) space group with Z = 2 assuming that the crystal structure is built up of the (B4O7)∞2− framework and Pb2+ ions. It has been shown that vibrations of borate and Pb2+ units are observed above 240 and below 160 cm−1, respectively. The results obtained for the spontaneous Raman scattering have also been used in the discussion of the stimulated Raman spectra of the material studied—a new Raman‐laser crystal. The obtained results revealed that mainly translational motions of Pb2+ ions participate efficiently in the SRS effect. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
