Disorder-induced light scattering in solids: The origin of the Boson peak in glasses

Theoretical models relative to Raman scattering in disordered solids are discussed and compared with the available experimental evidence. In particular, experimental data relative to the Boson peak integrated intensity and computer simulations on three-dimensional site percolators, allow us to infer...

Zusammenfassung:Theoretical models relative to Raman scattering in disordered solids are discussed and compared with the available experimental evidence. In particular, experimental data relative to the Boson peak integrated intensity and computer simulations on three-dimensional site percolators, allow us to infer that the relevant mechanism that produces the peak is disorder-induced light scattering from acoustic modes of a disordered structure.
