Abstract
We have measured polarized Raman spectra of MnWO~4~ single crystals at low temperatures, and studied the temperature dependence of the various phonon modes. From our Raman studies of the MnWO~4~, a new transition temperature, βΌ180 K, was found. We have completely assigned the symmetries of the 18 observed Raman modes of the MnWO~4~, as expected from a group theoretical analysis. These Raman modes have been classified into three groups according to weak, intermediate and strong temperature dependence of the modes in each group. Six internal modes have been identified by their weak temperature dependence of the Raman wavenumbers. The temperature dependence of the wavenumbers of the B~g~ modes in Mgο£ΏO bonds, modes of intermediate temperature dependence group, shows an anomalous behavior under 50 K. The phonon modes of strong temperature dependence show an anomalous change at βΌ180 K in the linewidths. This is believed to be a new transition temperature which involves the changes in the interβWO~6~ octahedra structure. Copyright Β© 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract The mode assignment of the cubic phase of anhydrous Na~2~MoO~4~ was carried out on the basis of lattice dynamic calculation using the classical rigidβion model. Temperatureβdependent studies indicate that this crystal remains in the cubic structure in the 15β773 K range and undergoes a
