The mate- rials can be grouped in two different structures: tetragonal for Y-, Tb-, and Gd-contain- ing compounds, and orthorhombic for Sm-, Nd-, and La-based materials. The tetrago- nal ceramics exhibit 9 active bands, whereas the orthorhombic ones present 23 vibra- tional modes when fitted by a sum of Lorentzian curves. The position and width of the phonon modes are determined and correlated to the ionic radii and tolerance factors for the different atoms substituted in the B'-site. — (DIAS, A.; KHALAM, L.
