Impurity-induced Raman scattering in CsBr and CsI

Abstract
Measurements of the first-order impurity-induced Raman scattering in CsBr:I and CsI:Br are reported. Comparison is made with a corresponding phonon Green's-function calculation. Using known perfect-crystal shell-model parameters, only one additional parameter, the change in the longitudinal nearest-neighbor force constant, is needed to describe the dynamical properties of the defect and to fit the shape of the three independent Raman spectra with A1g, Eg, and T2g symmetry. Assumptions about the form of the terms giving rise to the Raman scattering permit the fitting of the relative intensities of these three spectra with one parameter.
