Polarization-dependent far-infrared reflectivity measurements were carried out on single crystals of anatase TiO 2. The results were analyzed to yield the dielectric dispersion properties of anatase in the lattice fundamentals regime. The frequencies ͑in cm Ϫ1 ͒ of the transverse optical ͑TO͒ and longitudinal optical ͑LO͒ zone-center phonons were determined to be 367͑755͒ for the TO ͑LO͒ of the A 2u mode, 262͑366͒ and 435͑876͒ for the E u modes. The large TO-LO splittings were used to estimate effective charges. ͓S0163-1829͑97͒02009-2͔
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
