Abstract
The first- and second-order Raman spectra of diamond were studied using the 4880 Å and 5145 Å lines of an Ar ion laser and the 6328 Å line of a He-Ne laser. The spectra were recorded at room, liquid-nitrogen, and liquid-helium temperatures. In addition to the second-order spectrum previously reported by Krishnan, a new weaker second-order spectrum was observed in the range 1600-2100 . Polarization studies were carried out on both the first- and second-order spectra. From such studies it was established that the 1332- Raman line is the zone-center optical phonon with () symmetry. The prominent features in both the second-order Raman spectra reported here and the second-order infrared spectra are interpreted in terms of the critical points of the phonon dispersion curves established from neutron spectroscopy and on the basis of space-group selection rules.
