A Raman Spectral Study of Lanthanide Oxybromides

Abstract The Raman active vibrational fundamentals of lanthanide oxybromides, LnOBr, where Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Tm, Yb and Lu, have been reported in solid phase and the observed data have been analyzed by comparison with those of the oxyclorides on the basis of the results of factor group analysis.
