Title
Infrared surface modes in corundum-type microcrystalline oxides
Abstract
Infrared spectra of corundum-type oxide microcrystals with different shapes have been studied. Surface mode absorptions were interpreted through the use of a phonon theory based on the scattering of electromagnetic radiation by small particles. This theory suffices to interpret virtually all the details of the spectra in the materials studied. The lack of consistency among the reported i.r. spectra of powdered corundum-type oxides is shown to be due in part to the different particle shape of the samples used.
