“…To study low temperature effect on vibrational properties, we compared the vibrational modes of HMX at 300, 534, 608, and 873 K. Figure A shows the Raman spectra of HMX at different temperatures. In the crystalline HMX at 0 K, the vibrational frequencies can be assigned as follows: cycle vibrations at 94, 213, 350, and 400 cm −1 and vibrations within the cycle (rattling mode) observed at 229, 367, 405, and 423 cm −1 . Cycle and nitro group (‐NO 2 ) deformation vibrations are at 571, 619, 713, 809, and 913 cm −1 , while the acoustic E 1g mode is at 604, 637, and 720 cm −1 .…”
