// TODO: 写出来这个方法,并验证。 // TODO: maybe it is better to assign Raman tensor to each bond, instead of atom
We propose a method to estimate the magnitudes of the Raman tensors by symmetry analysis (see appendix for details).
The center principle is to assign the Raman tensor (i.e., change of polarizability caused by atomic displacement)
to each atom in the unit cell.
This including the following steps:
- Write out the change of polarizability caused by displacement of Si atom in A and C layer,
Where unknown non-zero components are denoted by $a_1$, $a_2$, $a_5$, $a_6$.
For example, when we move the Si atom in A layer slightly towards the x+ direction in $d$ distance,
the change of polarizability should be $mat(,a_2,a_1;a_2,,;a_1,,)d$.
This could be done by conclusion above.
- The Si atom in B layer have similar local environment as the A and C layer, with only a little difference.
We denote these difference by $epsilon_1$, $epsilon_2$, $epsilon_5$, $epsilon_6$,
and the absolute value of $epsilon_i$ should be much smaller than $a_i$.
For example, when we move the Si atom in B layer slightly towards the x+ direction in $d$ distance,
the change of polarizability should be $mat(,a_2+epsilon_2,a_1+epsilon_1;a_2+epsilon_2,,;a_1+epsilon_1,,)d$.
- The local environment of C atom in A layer is similar to the Si atom in A layer with charge reversed and
the system reversed along xy plane.
We denote these difference by $eta_1$, $eta_2$, $eta_5$, $eta_6$,
and the absolute value of $epsilon_i$ should be much smaller than $a_i$.
For example, when we move the C atom in A layer slightly towards the x+ direction in $d$ distance,
the change of polarizability should be $mat(,a_2+eta_2,-a_1-eta_1;a_2+eta_2,,;-a_1-eta_1,,)d$.
- Similar to the case in Si atoms, we derive the change of polarizability
caused by moving C atom in B layer slightly towards the x+ direction in $d$ distance,
which should be $mat(,-a_2-eta_2-zeta_2,-a_1-eta_1-zeta_1;-a_2-eta_2-zeta_2,,;-a_1-eta_1-zeta_1,,)d$.

这里应该有办法来估计。下面是我总结的规律:
按照我们规定的 ABCB 层序,并将拉曼张量的大小归结为键长的变化的话:
* 对于 E2 表示AC层运动方向必须相反B1/B2层运动方向必须相反因此只讨论A和B1层
* A 层内部的那个竖的键,同向运动会导致比较大的拉曼张量
* B1 层内部的那个竖的键,反向运动会导致比较大的拉曼张量
* A 层和 B1 层之间的那个横的键,反向运动会导致比较大的拉曼张量
我们或许可以通过这个路径来探索:
* 首先,根据 C3v 点群的表示,写出每个键的拉曼张量。这包括:
* 对于 A 内竖着的键,考虑连着的两个原子和第一近邻原子,对称性为 C3v。写出此时的拉曼张量。
* 对于 B1 内竖着的键,它也是 C3v它此时的拉曼张量是 h 下稍微变动的结果。写下这个结果。
* 对于 A 到 B1 的横着的键,它是 C3v 。写下这个结果。
* 对于 B1 到 C 的横着的键,它是 C3v 。写下这个结果为之前的结果的微微变动。
* 对于其它键,根据对称性由上面的结果直接写出。
* 写出各个模式的拉曼张量(上面的线性组合)。即可以直接看到结果。
