Abstract
AbstractThe Raman spectra of ion intercalated Vermiculites have been studied. The torsional mode frequencies exhibit a shift to higher energy with increasing basal spacing d. Using a van der Waals type force model, and the nearest neighbor approximation, we have successfully derived the formula for the torsional mode frequency as functions of basal spacing d and other physical parameters. The calculation results are quite consistent with the experimental observations.
