Abstract

If the temperature in an insulating crystal decreases in the z-direction, there are more phonons with momentum qz > 0 than with qz < 0. The resulting difference between the Stokes and anti-Stokes Brillouin intensities is proportional to the mean free path of the phonon involved and to the temperature gradient. The effect should be observable by either neutron or photon scattering.
