TLDR
In this article, the vibrational frequencies of chalcopyrite type compounds are derived from the zone center or zone boundary vibrations of the sphalerite lattice assuming similar bonding and normal co-ordinates in all compounds investigated.
Abstract
To obtain a sound basis for calculations of the lattice dynamics of chalcopyrite type compounds the literature data for the vibrational frequencies of 14 chalcogenides and 8 pnictides crystallizing in this structure are critically analysed. This is done by introducing frequency ratios of those frequencies which can be derived from zone centre or zone boundary vibrations of the sphalerite lattice presuming similar bonding and normal co-ordinates in all compounds investigated. Based on the reliable spectra vibrational frequencies have been calculated for those compounds which have not yet been investigated or for which the results given in the literature are uncertain.

Pressure dependence of the Raman modes and pressure-induced phase changes in CuGaS 2 and AgGaS 2

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of pressure on the phonon frequencies is discussed in terms of Born's transverse dynamical charges and their pressure dependence, and it is concluded that the first phase transition takes place in all these materials whenever the lowest ε = 0.7 times its zero-pressure value.
