THERMAL SCATTERING OF LIGHT IN CUBIC CRYSTALS

V CHANDRASEKHARAN

Abstract


The  theory  for  the  intensities of  Doppler  components  in  birefringent  crystals  developed  in  Part  IV  (Chandrasekharan,  1952)  has  been  applied  to  the  case  of  cubic  crystals  and  general  expressions  for  the  intensities for  11  specific  orientations  of  crystals  belonging  to  Td,  Oh and  O  classes  and  6  crystal  orientations  of  T  and  Th  crystal  'classes  have  been  derived.  The  formulae  have  been  used  to  calculate  the  intensities  in  the  case  of  diamond  and  other  cubic  crystals  and  the  results  compared  with  the  experimental  data  in  the  former  case.  There  is  not  much  agreement  between  theory  and  experiment.
