Raman phonons in RPO{sub 4} crystals.
Description:
Orthophosphates formed by elements in the first half of the lanthanide transition series (La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu and Gd) are structural analogs to the monoclinic mineral monazite. This mineral is characterized by an almost unique combination of properties that make its synthetic forms attractive as possible hosts for the long-term storage of actinide wastes. Crystals of lanthanide orthophosphates were grown by dissolving and by reacting lanthanide oxides in molten lead pyrophosphate at high tempera…
