Birefringence effect in Raman scattering of anisotropic materials

TL;DR

This paper extends classical Raman scattering theory by incorporating birefringence effects, aiming to improve understanding and analysis of anisotropic materials in spectroscopy for both theoretical calculations and experimental applications.

Contribution

It introduces a theoretical framework that accounts for birefringence and interference effects in Raman scattering of anisotropic materials, enhancing existing models.

Findings

Birefringence significantly influences Raman scattering signals.

The extended theory can improve ab initio calculations.

Potential applications in experimental Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract

This paper adds birefringence consideration to the conventional classical Raman scattering theory commonly found in literature to address birefringence and interference effects in Raman spectroscopy. It is hoped that the new results can be useful for ab initio calculations as well as experimental studies.
