The main parameters for precipitation of mixed carbonate materials have been studied by Raman microscopy. These carbonates are compounds of barium, strontium and calcium. It has been shown that the Raman spectrum of a sample is exclusively controlled by its composition, the precipitation parameters do not affect the crystal structure. Even at relatively low levels, the calcium content of a sample can dominate the vibrational frequencies as measured by Raman spectroscopy. Calcium contents greater than 17% show this effect to a considerable degree, and give the broadest or two Raman peaks and thus the least uniform unit cells. The analysis of the lattice modes demonstrates that each Raman shift observed for a mixed carbonate sample corresponds to a specific crystal structure. Some peaks lie within two or three shifts that are observed for different crystal structures. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
