Observation of Raman scattering in an amorphous metal

Abstract
The first observaton of Raman scattering is reported for an amorphous metal. An interference-enhancing trilayer configuration is used. Measurements on transition-metal metalloid alloys of a-Ni0.67 B0.33 provide information on the form of the weighted phonon density of states of Ni-Ni and Ni-B derived bands and Raman-coupling-parameter variations.
