The Raman spectra of the orthorhombic form of polycrystalline YF/sub 3/, SmF/sub 3/, TbF/sub 3/, HoF/sub 3/, and YbF/sub 3/ have been recorded. Room-temperature, polarized Raman spectra of a single crystal of orthorhombic TbF/sub 3/ have also been obtained. Based on these polarized Raman spectra, symmetry assignments have been made for 23 of the expected 24 Raman active phonon vibrations in TbF/sub 3/. By analogy to the results from single crystal TbF/sub 3/, tentative symmetry assignments of the observed phonon vibrations were also made for the other compounds included in this work.
