The growth of single crystals of lead molybdate by the Czochralski technique

Phonon properties of β-Ag2MoO4: Raman spectroscopy and ab initio calculations

“…The silver molybdates can be obtained by different methods of synthesis [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] in various morphologies [26,15,27,28,7,29,20,30], which make this compound the subject of several investigations, including the study of structural transitions by means of differential thermal analysis (DTA) [2], X-ray diffraction (XRD) [27,6], Raman spectroscopy [1,27,6,31], surfaceenhanced Raman spectroscopy [27,28] and absorption and emission spectroscopy [6,28,32,7]. However, the room temperature structure of the Ag2MoO4 crystal exists in two different forms namely as α-Ag2MoO4 (tetragonal) and β-Ag2MoO4 (cubic) [33].…”

Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of Electronic Structure and Photoluminescence Properties of β-Ag2MoO4 Microcrystals

“…5 However, these methods require high temperatures, long processing times, and/or sophisticated equipment. In addition, there is the possibility of the formation of a system composed of particles with nonhomogeneous sizes and irregular shapes as well as the appearing of deleterious phases.…”

Structural, morphological and optical investigation of β-Ag2MoO4 microcrystals obtained with different polar solvents

“…7 Different synthesis methods have been employed to obtain pure β-Ag 2 MoO 4 crystals, including solid-state reaction using an oxide mixture at high temperature, 8 melt-quenching 9 and Czochralski growth. 10 Particularly, high temperatures, long processing times, and/or sophisticated equipment are necessary in these synthetic routes. Moreover, the final products may be composed of particles having irregular shapes with non-homogeneous size distribution as well as contain secondary phases.…”
