Title: Peculiarities in the Raman spectra of ZrB{sub 12} and LuB{sub 12} single crystals

Abstract

We have measured Raman spectra of high-quality Zr{sup nat}B{sub 12}, Lu{sup nat}B{sub 12} and Lu{sup 11}B{sub 12} single crystals with high resolution, and the observed strong peaks are attributed to specific vibration modes. Besides, there are a number of additional Raman peaks in spectral ranges, where only Raman-inactive vibrations of the atomic arrangement are expected. Accordingly, it is assumed, that the investigated crystals contain intrinsic structural imperfections or distortions in sufficient concentration and efficiency to initiate the observed breaking of phonon selection rules. We suppose boron vacancies, boron isotope effects and displacements of the metal atoms to be reasons for such imperfections. - Graphical abstract: Raman spectra of Lu{sup nat}B{sub 12}, Lu{sup 11}B{sub 12} and Zr{sup nat}B{sub 12}.
