Measurement and simulation of anisotropy in the infrared and Raman spectra of Β-FeSi2single crystals

Abstract: In this paper we show that the orthorhombic phase of FeSi 2 ͑stable at room temperature͒ displays a sizable anisotropy in the infrared spectra, with minor effects in the Raman data too. This fact is not trivial at all, since the crystal structure corresponds to a moderate distortion of the fluorite symmetry. Our analysis is carried out on small single crystals grown by flux transport, through polarization-resolved far-infrared reflectivity and Raman measurements. Their interpretation has been obtained by means… Show more

“…With the rise in annealing temperature, the spectral intensity is enhanced, leading to Raman peaks for Sample #2, which are rather clearer at three particular wavenumbers: 177, 194, and 248 cm −1 . Those numbers are in good agreement with those in the literature [6], thus suggesting the formation of β-FeSi 2 at annealing temperatures higher than 350 • C.…”

“…The origin of these peaks might be attributed to the contribution from different oriented structures of the film. From the IR study of single-crystalline ␤-FeSi 2 specimens with polarized light [13], it has been demonstrated that there are remarkable differences between the IR spectra obtained at different polarizations with respect the crystal axis, with the position of the peaks and their relative intensity being different. Consequently, in our polycrystalline ␤-FeSi 2 films, the observed simple five phonon pattern can be understood as the convolution of individual contributions from crystal grains having different orientations and sizes.…”
