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...

Raman line shapes in liquid CH3I and CD3I

TL;DR: In this paper, the six fundamental bands of CH3I and CD3I, both as pure liquids and in solution with CS2, have been studied in order to obtain information about the molecular rotational and vibrational dynamics.

Raman scattering from 2h and 3r-nbs2

TL;DR: In this paper, a nearest-neighbour lattice dynamics model has been used to analyze the Raman spectra obtained from different polytypes of the same layered compound and some discrepancies with previously reported results are found.

Quantum Parametric Mode Sorting: Beating the Time-Frequency Filtering.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates highly selective detection of picosecond signals overlapping temporally and spectrally but in orthogonal time-frequency modes as well as against broadband noise, with performance well exceeding the theoretical limit of the optimized time- Frequency filtering.

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.
