Introduction: Brillouin and Raman spectroscopy
•a material or a molecule scatters irradiant light from a source •Most of the scattered light is at the same wavelength as the laser source
(elastic, or Raileigh scattering) • but a small amount of light is scattered at different wavelengths (inelastic,
or Raman scattering)

Not every crystal lattice vibration can be probed by Raman scattering. There are certain Selection rules:
1. Energy conservation:
2. Momentum conservation in crystals:
λi ~ 5000 Å, a0 ~ 4-5 Å ⇒ λphonon >> a0
⇒ only small wavevector (cloze to BZ center) phonons are seen in the 1st order (single phonon) Raman spectra of bulk crystals
3. Selection rules determined by crystal symmetry and by symmetry of excitations

Phonons• Quantum mechanics: energy levels of the harmonic oscillator are quantized
• Similarly the energy levels of lattice vibrations are quantized.
• The quantum of vibration is called a phonon(in analogy with the photon - the quantum of the electromagnetic wave)
Allowed energy levels of the harmonic oscillator:
where n is the quantum number
A normal vibration mode of frequency ω is given by
mode is occupied by n phonons of energy ħω; momentum p = ħqNumber of phonons is given by :
(T – temperature)
The total vibrational energy of the crystal is the sum of the energies of the individual phonons:(p denotes particular
phonon branch)

Raman thermometer Classical formula is not complete!
You need to take Planck‘s statistics for phonons into account to calculate the scattering intensity
HW:
