Abstract

Two modifications of MgH₂ have been studied by Raman spectroscopy: α-MgH₂ with the P4₂/mnm space group and γ-MgH₂ with the Pbcn space group. The latter was prepared from α-MgH₂ by exposing it to a pressure of 5.6 GPa at 470 °C for 1.5 h. A comparison of the experimental spectra with ab-initio calculations allowed identification of a few phonon modes. A broad feature in the Raman spectrum of α-MgH₂ in the range 1470-1790 cm ^-1 was identified as the B_2g phonon mode. A Raman spectrum of γ-MgH₂ consists of five discernible peaks at 186 cm ^-1, 313 cm^-1, 509 cm^-1, 660 cm^-1, 706 cm^-1 and of three broad features in the regions 890-980 cm ^-1, 1010-1220 cm^-1 and 1240-1430 cm^-1. The peaks are identified as the 1A_g (186 cm^-1), 3B _3g (509 cm^-1), 2A_g (660 cm^-1) and 3B_1g (706 cm^-1) phonon modes.
