Raman spectroscopy has been used to study the rare-earth mineral churchite-(Y) of formula (Y,REE)(PO4) ·2H2O, where rare-earth element (REE) is a rare-earth element. The mineral contains yttrium and, depending on the locality, a range of rare-earth metals. The Raman spectra of two churchite-(Y) mineral samples from Jachymov and Medvědin in the Czech Republic were compared with the Raman spectra of churchite-(Y) downloaded from the RRUFF data base. The Raman spectra of churchite-(Y) are characterized by an intense sharp band at 975 cm−1 assigned to the ν1 (PO43−) symmetric stretching mode. A lower intensity band observed at around 1065 cm−1 is attributed to the ν3 (PO43−) antisymmetric stretching mode. The (PO43−) bending modes are observed at 497 cm−1 (ν2) and 563 cm−1 (ν4). Some small differences in the band positions between the four churchite-(Y) samples from four different localities were found. These differences may be ascribed to the different compositions of the churchite-(Y) minerals. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
