In this paper we represent for the first time observed experimental data on non-resonant Raman scattering in a plate of b-ZnP2. The high-frequency part of RS spectra КР b-ZnP2 is determined by oscillations of sites in P-atom spirals considered as building units of the b-ZnP2 lattice. These spirals, as to their oscillatory properties, are very similar to infinite P-atom spirals in a-ZnP2. Thus, the most intensive RS spectral band 433.0 cm-1 responds to main inphase quas ivalence oscillations for all four translations of non-equivalent sites in Р-spirals while bands 448.4; 458.2; 466.3 cm-1 to quasivalence out-of-phase excited oscillations orthogonal to the main ones. Keywords: b-ZnP2, non-resonant Raman scattering, irreducible representations. Paper received 27.03.01; revised manuscript received 23.06.01; accepted for publication 13.07.01.
