is discussed as a factor impeding progress in long-standing investigations of the
polymorphism of zirconia. The reliable symmetry assignment of these vibrations is proposed
by analyzing a polarized light scattering from single-crystal grains of epitaxial films of pure t−
ZrO 2 grown on monocrystalline Al 2 O 3 samples. The interrelations between the Raman
spectrum of t− ZrO 2 and the relevant phonons of c− ZrO 2 are considered, implying the A 1 …
