The obtained results showed very good agreement with the observed data. The Cu–O bands generally showed lower shifts in Ca2CuO3 than in pure CuO and were primarily composed of the vibrations of the oxygen in static host lattice, whereas the Cu movements only happened in the collective lattice vibrations. An almost complete classification of the forbidden phonons is presented. %N 9 %K HF calculations;SCF calculations;ab initio calculations;antiferromagnetic materials;band structure;calcium compounds;phonons;6320dk;7115Ap;7115Mb;7120Ps;7550Ee %P 093524-093524 %V 103 %D 2008 %L SisLab138
