Pressure effects on the Raman spectrum of CaZnF4
Abstract
The pressure influence on the lattice vibration of CaZnF4 has been studied by Raman diffusion up to 17 GPa. Most Raman frequencies increase with increasing pressure. Three singularities in the pressure induced frequency evolution are observed around 1.5 GPa, 10 GPa and 17 GPa. The samples pressurized to 17 GPa or higher do not revert to the ambient pressure phase after being released, the new phase showing different Raman spectra from the ordinary one. It is suggested that CaZnF4 undergoes probably sudden lattice deformations at about 1.5 GPa and 10 GPa, and an irreversible phase transformation above 17 GPa.
