“…In case of the SSSrSnO 3 powder, the Raman spectrum is in agreement with Zhang's previously reported result [11] in terms of the active modes of SrSnO 3 located at 119, 150, 168, 220, 257, 305, 403, 511, 596, 713 and 890 cm À1 . On the other hand, the Raman spectrum of SrSnO 3 nanoparticles is very different from that of SS-SrSnO 3 and bears more resemblance to Alves's result [20,21] where bands appear at 93, 108, 119, 152, 186, 227, 250, 261, 406, 577, 703 and 986 cm À1 . This difference has relevance to the incorporation of carbonate anions into the SrSnO 3 structure.…”
