Abstract
First-order Raman spectra have been measured at room temperature in five materials of the point group: Ti, Mg, Zn, Fe and Mn. The experiments utilized an argon laser light source and photo-electric detection. The four Raman-active phonon frequencies, predicted by group theory to have symmetries , , , and , were observed and classified in each material. Each spectrum exhibited strong lines of and symmetries, a weak high-frequency line of symmetry, and a very sharp line at quite low frequency (less than 100 in all the materials except Ti).
