The lattice parameters were determined by X-ray power diffraction. The IR and Raman spectra of pure and doped (V3+, V5+, and Ni4+) Mg2SiO4 single crystals were measured at room temperature. We studied the phonon properties and discussed the influence of dopants. %K forsterite %K x-Ray diffraction %K IR spectra %K Raman spectra %K optical properties %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0350-820X/2009/0350-820X0901043G.pdf
