Raman spectra of cubic Sc2O3, Y2O3 and C-type rare earth oxides are presented. Cubic Nd2O3 is prepared by thermal decomposition of its hydroxide. The decomposition mechanism happens in two steps. At the end of this process cubic Nd2O3 form. All Raman spectra are characterised by the presence of a very strong band in the range 320–420 cm−1,...
