Strontium barium niobate (Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6 and Sr0.6Ba0.4Nb2O6) single crystals doped with 1–2.5 mol% of the luminescent ions Eu3+ and Er3+ have been investigated using Raman and IR spectroscopy. The vibrational spectra of SBN crystals are dominated by broad and multi-component bands related to the internal vibrations of the NbO67− octahedra. In order to interpret the experimental vibrational spectra of SBN crystals the quantum-chemical calculations (DFT) for the NbO67− anion have been carried out. As a first approximation, the dynamics of isolated NbO67− anions have been taken into account. The calculated vibrational frequencies for the free NbO67− ion are in fair agreement with the frequencies of modes observed in experiment. The discrepancies are attributed to the distortion of the niobate octahedra in the actual crystal structure and to the presence of disorder and doping with impurity ions in SBN crystals.
