The resonant Raman spectra of 4H-SiC, 6H-SiC, and 15R-SiC were measured from visible excitation to ultraviolet excitation. A selective enhancement of the intensities of the folded longitudinal phonon modes relative to the nonfolded longitudinal optical phonon mode was found. To explain this, we used a bond-Ramanpolarizability model with a one-dimensional lattice dynamics model. It uses bond Raman polarizabilities of three bond arrangements, which we assumed to have different excitation energy dependences. By using this model, we successfully reproduced the excitation energy dependence of the relative intensities of the folded longitudinal phonon modes. The bond Raman polarizabilities and force constants used in our calculations are common for all polytypes. We found that the bond Raman polarizabilities of the three bond arrangements had different resonance energies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
