Abstract

Raman spectroscopy with CW lasers in the visible, near-IR, and near-UV is one of the most precise techniques to investigate low frequency elementary excitations in solids. It is particularly suitable for determining quasiparticle renormalizations due to small perturbations. The technique will be illustrated with examples for conventional semiconductors (effects of isotropic mass changes and fluctuations on phonon frequencies and line widths, effect of doping on same parameters) and high-Tc superconductors (effect of superconducting gaps on phonons frequencies and line widths, effect of crystal field transitions of the rare earth atoms on phonon frequencies and line shapes).© (1992) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
