ANALYSIS OF THE COORDINATION NUMBER OF THE ATOM W IN ZnWO4 SINGLE CRYSTALS

Abstract

The coordination number Z of the atom W in scintillator ZnWO4 is analyzed based on the X-ray structural data and Raman scattering experiment results. Z is suggested to be 6 that might be more reasonable than 4. t turns out that the luminescence center in ZnWO4 locates at the configuration of the atomic group WO6, instead of WO4-2. We also present some new Raman lines expected bytheoretical analysis.
