title: Damage creation in swift heavy ion-irradiated calcite single crystals: Raman and infrared study.
abstract: Raman and Infrared studies were carried out on pristine and 100 MeV Ag(8+) ion irradiated calcite single crystals in the fluence range 1 x 10(11) to 1 x 10(13)ions/cm(2). Raman and Infrared modes were assigned according to factor theory analysis. It is observed that the intensities of the Raman and infrared bands decrease with increase of ion fluence. The decrease of these bands is attributed to breakage of carbonate ions and other details are discussed.
