✦ Synopsis

The gypsum-bassanite-anhydrite phase transition sequence was followed up to 550 K at ambient pressure in a naturally occurring gypsum using Raman spectroscopy. The spectral variations of the internal (CaSO 4 AE 2H 2 O) modes of sulphate tetrahedra and were used to probe the structural phase transitions. A new Raman mode (m 1 m 2 ) emerged at 1026 cm-1, in the mode region, at around 388 Β» 5 K, indicating the onset of the bassanite m 1 phase. This mode became weaker after showing an initial increase. The anhydrite (CaSO 4 AE 0.5H 2 O) (CaSO 4

) phase, with an onset temperature of around 448 Β» 5 K, was also characterized by the appearance of the Raman mode at 1016 cm-1. From the Arrhenius-type changes in the reduced intensity, the activation energies associated with the gypsum to bassanite and bassanite to anhydrite transitions were estimated to be 92.25 and 32.94 kJ mol-1, respectively. The observed spectral anomalies in the mode clearly corroborate the transition sequence. m

The phase transition sequence of natural gypsum (CaSO 4 β€’ 2H 2 O) was studied by Raman spectroscopy in the temperature range 300-550 K. The reduced peak intensity of the symmetric stretching mode around 1008 cm -1 varied anomalously during the gypsum-bassanite transition. From the spectral variation

Ta 2 O 5 ceramics and crystals were prepared and analyzed using Raman spectroscopy in the temperature range 25-873 K. The low-energy phonon bands (n < 100 cm -1 ) of Ta 2 O 5 are assigned to external modes originating from the interaction between different Ta polyhedra and TaO n 5-2n -Ta 6 O 12 6Y c

Effects of the phase transition between the high-temperature tetragonal phases of the CsScF 4 crystal were studied by Raman scattering. The appearance of new lines including a soft mode was observed below the phase transition point, in complete accordance with the new crystal symmetry. The behavior

Raman spectra of terephthalidenebis-p-n-decylaniline (TBDA) were recorded in the regions 925-1000 and 1120-1220 cm-1 from room temperature down to 20 K during both cooling and heating cycles. The subtle changes in the spectral features of the bands at ca 975 and ca 1195 cm-1 at 47 K were attributed
