Raman scattering from impurities in nonmetals. II. Anharmonic effects
Keyword(s):
Anharmonic effects on the impurity Raman spectrum are examined on the basis of an approximately derived, nonphenomenological Raman spectrum function. It is shown that owing to the phonon life-time effect, anharmonicity broadens the zero-phonon Raman line and the accompanied satellite phonon Raman lines. The case of resonant scattering is re-examined and the result suggests that the dipole radiation formulation of Raman scattering, which is the basis of the present and some other treatments, is unsuited for demonstrating hot luminescence.
