Abstract

Raman spectroscopy measurements of polycrystalline Na2MoO4 center dot 2H(2)O (NMHO) and Na2MoO4 (NM) under hydrostatic pressure (from 0 to 10 GPa) were performed. This study allowed us to monitor the stretching and bending vibrations of MoO4 ions as well as the translational modes as a function of pressure. The pressure dependence of the wavenumbers of the modes indicates that the Na2MoO4 center dot 2H(2)O undergoes two phase transitions at about similar to 3 and similar to 4 GPa. When releasing pressure, we have observed that the original spectrum is recovered, thereby pointing to a reversible process. The Na2MoO4 (NM) starting phase was found to be stable up to 10 GPa. The pressure-dependent Raman data for NM did not reveal any structural modification. The influence of the pressure-transmitting medium on the phase transitions is also discussed.
