Abstract

The Bi 2Sn 2O 7 pyrochlore is known to undergo a sequence of structural phase transitions with an increase in temperature. Raman spectroscopy was employed in the investigation of the temperature dependence of the active phonons in the Raman spectrum. We observed 19 broad modes at room temperature, reflecting the low symmetry of the α-phase of Bi 2Sn 2O 7.
