Raman spectra of polycrystalline crystobalite were measured over the frequency interval of the fundamental optical modes from 77°K to 538°C. Spectra recorded above and below the 
![[Single Bond]](http://scitation.aip.org/stockgif3/sngbnd.gif)
transition temperature were strikingly different. The strong bands measured at 416 and 230 cm−1 with
cristobalite at 25°C were not observed from spectra of the
phase. The Raman spectrum of
cristobalite exhibited only three bands and, in contrast to crystalline quartz, a strongly temperature dependent band was not observed from measurements at temperatures near the transition point. Infrared reflection spectra of
cristobalite also were recorded, and the longitudinal optical mode frequencies were determined. Raman spectra of
cristobalite showed that the structure of this material should not be employed as a lattice model for noncrystalline SiO2.
