Polarized Raman spectra of transition metal disilicides, MSi2 (M = Nb,
Ta, V, Cr), of hexagonal structure were measured on single crystals.
The transmittance IR spectrum of a polycrystalline CrSi2 film is also
reported. The vibrational modes are described in terms of symmetry and
atomic motions. The effect due to the metal substitution on the spect
ra is discussed. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
