An intrinsic antiferromagnetic topological insulator MnBi₂Te₄ arises when intercalating a Mn-Te bilayer chain in a topological insulator, Bi₂Te₃. We present observations on the inter- and intralayer phonon modes of the generalized MnBi_2nTe_3n+1(n=1,2,3,4) family using cryogenic low-frequency Raman spectroscopy with various polarization configurations. Two peaks at 66 and 112 cm^–1 show abnormal perturbation in Raman linewidths below magnetic transition temperature due to spin-phonon coupling. In MnBi₄Te₇, B_i2Te₃ layers induce Davydov splitting of the A1g mode around 137 cm^–1 at 5 K. The out-of-plane interlayer force constant estimated using the linear chain model was (3.98±0.14)×10¹⁹N/m³, three times weaker than that of Bi₂Te₃. Adding more Bi₂Te₃ layers, such as MnBi₆Te₁₀ and MnBi₈Te₁₃, makes Bi₂Te₃ properties more dominant than magnetic properties. Our work experimentally and theoretically discovers the dynamics of phonon modes of MnBi_2nTe_3n+1 family, facilitating utilization of magnetic topological heterostructures.
