T. Tomita et al., Selective resonance effect of the folded longitudinal phonon modes in the Raman spectra of SiC, PHYS REV B, 62(19), 2000, pp. 12896-12901
The resonant Raman spectra of 4H-SiC, 6H-SiC, and 15R-SiC were measured fro
m visible excitation to ultraviolet excitation. A selective enhancement of
the intensities of the folded longitudinal phonon modes relative to the non
folded longitudinal optical phonon mode was found. To explain this, we used
a bond-Raman-polarizability model with a one-dimensional lattice dynamics
model. It uses bond Raman polarizabilities of three bond arrangements, whic
h we assumed to have different excitation energy dependences. By using this
model, we successfully reproduced the excitation energy dependence of the
relative intensities of the folded longitudinal phonon modes. The bond Rama
n polarizabilities and force constants used in our calculations are common
for all polytypes. We found that the bond Raman polarizabilities of the thr
ee bond arrangements had different resonance energies.
