Abstract
Raman spectra of (, 0.5, and 0.3) single crystals and polycrystals are carefully studied. Our results demonstrate that for , only three Raman peaks, at , at from the surface, and at from the surface, can be observed at room temperature. For , an extra peak around appears from the -plane scattering, and it disappears for . Low temperature Raman spectra from the plane measured down to show that with decreasing temperature, peaks around and appear at a low temperature for and 0.5, respectively. These two modes are suggested to be closely correlated with the ordering of Na ions in .
