Abstract
Raman spectroscopy has been used to study the selenite mineral ahlfeldite. A comparison is made with the Raman spectra of chalcomenite, cobaltomenite and clinochalcomenite. Selenite minerals are characterised by the position of the symmetric stretching mode which is observed at higher wavenumbers than the antisymmetric stretching mode. The selenite ion has C3v symmetry and four modes, 2A1 and 2E. These modes are observed at 813, 472 cm-1 (A1) and 685, 710, 727 and 367 and 396 cm-1 (E). Bands assigned to the water stretching vibrations are observed for ahlfeldite at 3385 cm-1, for chalcomenite at 2953, 3184 and 3506 cm-1 and for clinochalcomenite at 2909, 3193 and 3507 cm-1. A comparison of the Raman spectra of chalcomenite, clinochalcomenite and cobaltomenite is made. The position of these bands enabled hydrogen bond distances in the selenite structure to be estimated. Hydrogen bond distances for ahlfeldite, chalcomenite and clinochalcomenite were determined to be similar.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:

Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
