Abstract:
The lattice vibrational properties of ZnP2 which is known to crystallize in a monoclinic and tetragonal modification with space groups P21/c and one of the enantiomorphs P41212 or P43212 respectively /1/, have been studied in detail only in tetragonal ZnP2 mainly by Raman scattering measurements /2 to 4/ but also by infrared reflectivity and absorbtion measurements /5, 6/.
