Abstract
A review is given of progress in the theoretical and experimental study of the Raman effect in crystals during the past ten years. Attention is given to the theory of those properties of long-wavelength lattice vibrations in both cubic and uniaxial crystals which can be studied by Raman scattering. In particular the phenomena observed in the Raman scattering from crystals which lack a centre of inversion are related to the theory. The angular variations of the scattering by any type of lattice vibration in a crystal having any symmetry can be easily calculated using a complete tabulation of the Raman tensor. Recent measurements of first-order lattice vibration spectra are listed. A discussion of Brillouin scattering is included. The relation of second-order Raman spectra to critical points in the lattice vibration density of states is discussed, and measurements of the second-order spectra of diamond and the alkali halides are reviewed. The theory and experimental results for Raman scattering by electroni...

Lattice dynamics in GaN and AlN probed with first- and second-order Raman spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used first-order Raman scattering to determine the zone-center phonons and their dependence on structural attributes such as stress, chemical composition, impurities, and doping.

In-Plane Anisotropies of Polarized Raman Response and Electrical Conductivity in Layered Tin Selenide

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize the single crystal SnSe nanoplates (NPs) by chemical vapor deposition, and the angular dependence of the polarized Raman spectra of SnSe NPs shows anomalous anisotropic light-mater interaction.

Raman scattering in layered compound 2H-WS2

TL;DR: In this article, the first-order Raman peaks are observed at 27.4, 357 and 423 cm-1, and the low-frequency peak is a rigid-layer mode, from which the interlayer shear force constant is estimated.

Dynamical Theory of Crystal Lattices

Max Born, +1 more
TL;DR: Born and Huang's classic work on the dynamics of crystal lattices was published over thirty years ago, and it remains the definitive treatment of the subject as mentioned in this paper. But it is not the most complete work on crystal lattice dynamics.
