Abstract

Comparison of the Raman characteristics of six mineral species (burbankite, calcioburbankite, hanneschite, remondite-(Ce), petersenite-(Ce), and sanromanite) of the burbankite group revealed differences in the band positions of fully symmetric valence vibrations ν1 related to normal vibrations of the (CO3)2– anion group. Significant variations in band widths were also identified for ν1 vibrations. The observed differences in the Raman spectra of burbankite group minerals depend on the chemical composition of the studied samples. Additional photoluminescence bands found in some spectra are shown to be a direct indication of significant content of rare earth elements in the samples. Raman study of sanromanite has been carried out for the first time.
