In the same paper (at reference 20) they use the backscattering configuration on simulated raman spectrum. </div><div> </div><div>However, the dynmat.f90 code write the raman intenisty as </div><div><br></div><div>(45.d0*alpha**2 + 7.0d0*beta2)*amu_ry </div><div><br></div><div>with </div><div><br></div><div>alpha = (raman(1,1,nu) + raman(2,2,nu) + raman(3,3,nu))/3.d0</div><div><br></div><div>Beta2 = ( (raman(1,1,nu) - raman(2,2,nu))**2 + &</div><div> (raman(1,1,nu) - raman(3,3,nu))**2 + &</div><div> (raman(2,2,nu) - raman(3,3,nu))**2 + 6.d0 * &</div><div> (raman(1,2,nu)**2 + raman(1,3,nu)**2 + raman(2,3,nu)**2) )/2.d0</div><div><br></div><div>These expressions are described in PRB 54, 7830 (1996) for a 90° geometry. In the same paper we can find "Further, the direction of the incident beam, the polarization direction of this beam, and the direction of observation are perpendicular to each other".</div><div><br></div><div>So, I would like to know if the dynmat.f90 is really doing the calculation in 90° geometry? Please, someone else can show me If I misunderstand some point?</div><div><br></div><div>Sorry for the long question.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">José Gadelha da Silva Filho<div><br></div><div>Aluno de Doutorado do Curso de Pós-Graduação em Física</div><div>da Universidade Federal do Ceará.</div></div></div>
