    Monitoring the behavior of the different chains (Si and Ge) and the effect of the substitution of thecations in M1 site (Mg and Co): All features in germanate spectra are shifted with respect to silicates to lower wavenumbers due to

    the substitution of Si4+ with heavier Ge4+, that causes the distortion of tetrahedral and octahedralsites and changes the bond lengths within the polyhedra [6].

    The largest shift with respect to silicates is shown by the T-O stretching and chain bending and/orstretching modes.

    Co pyroxenes peaks, generally ascribed to M1-O and M2-O bonds stretching, are shifted to lowerwavenumbers with respect to Mg pyroxenes.

    Within the two germanates the differences involve also a little shift in the T-O vibrations due to thedifferent crystallographic arrangement.

    PYROXENES: chain si l icate minerals : widespread constituents of the Earth crust and of the upper mantle, as well as of rocky planets and meteorites; synthetic pyroxenes used for glass ceramics, and recently Co-based pyroxenes are investigated as ceramic pigments; in addition they are acquiring a lot of interest in solid state physics for their magnetic and multiferroic properties [1,2].General formula of pyroxenes M2M1T2O6 :

    M2are the cations (Mg2+, Fe2+, Li+, Ca2+, Na+) in the distorted polyhedron M2, with coordination from 6 to 8; M1are the cations (Co2+, Mg2+, Al3+, Fe3+, Ti3+, Cr3+, V3+) in the regular M1 octahedron, i.e. in a six-fold coordination;

    Trefers to the cations (Si4+

    , Ge4+

    ) present into the tetrahedra forming the pyroxene chains.

    CRYSTAL CHEMICAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN GERMANATES AND SILICATES HAVE ACQUIRED A LOT OFINTEREST: GERMANATES BEHAVE AS HIGH-PRESSURE MODELS FOR CORRESPONDING SILICATES AND THEY CAN

    PROVIDE IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE HIGH PRESSURE TRANSFORMATIONS OF SILICATES

    Raman spectrum of germanates ischaracterized in analogy with the silicate

    [4] by:1) strong T-O stretching modes of Ge and

    non-bridging O1 and O2 atoms within theGeO4tetrahedron at ~850 cm-1;

    2) peaks due to chain bending and/orstretching at 400600 cm-1, including themost intense peak at ~550 cm-1and few

    weak peaks around 400 cm-1;3) peaks below 400 cm-1, ascribed to non-tetrahedral cation vs. oxygen stretching of

    M1-O and M2-O bonds.

    Micro-Raman spectra on powdered synthetic samples of CaCoGe2O6[2] and CaMgGe2O6(and on samples of synthetic CaCoSi2O6[5] and natural CaMgSi2O6[4] for comparison) recorded with 632.8 nmexcitation light from a HeNe laser in a backscattering geometry using a Horiba-Jobin-Yvon LabRAM microspectrometer.

    The samples were prepared from mixtures of CaCO3, GeO2, and Co2O3or MgO in the desired stoichiometry. The synthesis was based on ceramic solid-state sintering route at T = 1573 K.
