Abstract
The polarized Raman spectra of a series of isostructural vanadate/phosphate compounds of the form: Tb(V1−xPx)O4 with 0⩽x⩽0.75 have been investigated at room temperature. While the observed Raman spectra are generally consistent with group theory predictions for a body-centered tetragonal crystal structure (D4h19), due to the replacement of P for V, additional spectral features induced by the disorder of the mixed vanadate/phosphate system are also observed. In particular, all of the external lattice modes are characterized by a one-phonon-like behavior, while the behavior of the internal modes of the (V,P)O4 tetrahedron is two-phonon-like.
