Abstract
Raman scattering and infrared transmittance techniques are used to
investigate the phonons of the Sr3Fe2TeO9 (SFTO), Sr3Fe2WO9 (SFWO), and
Ca3Fe2WO9 (CFWO) double perovskites at 300 K. While SFTO and SFWO
crystallize in a tetragonal structure belonging to the I4/m space with two formulas per unit cell (Z=2), CFWO crystallizes in a monoclinic structure belonging to the space group P2(1)/n with Z=2. The observed
spectra are very similar to that of the prototype cubic (Fm3m) double
perovskite, indicating that both the tetragonal and monoclinic
structures result from small distortions of the cubic cell. The
assignment of the optical phonons follows that given for the prototype
Fm3m double perovskites.
