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 $mat(,-a_2-eta_2-zeta_2,-a_1-eta_1-zeta_1;-a_2-eta_2-zeta_2,,;-a_1-eta_1-zeta_1,,)d$.
|
|
|
|
Lets assign Raman tensor onto each atom.
|
|
That is, Raman tensor is derivative of the polarizability with respect to the atomic displacement:
|
|
$
|
|
alpha = pdv(chi, u)
|
|
$
|
|
where $u$ should be the displacement of the atom corresponding to a phonon mode.
|
|
But, even when $u$ is *NOT* the displacement of a phonon
|
|
(for example, lets only slightly move Si atom in A layer, keeping other atoms fixed),
|
|
the (high-frequency) polarizability is still well-defined,
|
|
and the will still cause a change in the polarizability.
|
|
Even more, the group representation theory is still applicable in this condition:
|
|
the only thing that matters is, when applying $g$ to the system,
|
|
the tensor transformed into $g^(-1) alpha g$ or $g alpha g^(-1)$,
|
|
no matter $alpha$ is Raman tensor or something else, or it is related to a phonon or not.
|
|
|
|
Thus, we can, in principle, "assign" Raman tensor of a phonon, to each atom.
|
|
This "assign" is unique since both the atom movement and all phonons have 24 dimensions.
|
|
|
|
Next, we consider what these single-atom-caused "Raman tensors" looks like.
|
|
For example, what happens if we move the Si atom in A layer slightly along the x+ direction?
|
|
Consider also move the Si atom in C layer slightly, along x+ or x- direction.
|
|
How about the Raman tensor caused by the both two atoms?
|
|
In first case, this is B2 representation in E1 representation. Thus the Raman tensor should be something like:
|
|
$
|
|
mat(,,2a_1;,,;2a_1,,;)
|
|
$
|
|
In the second case, it is A2 in E2. It turns out:
|
|
$
|
|
mat(,2a_2,;2a_2,,;,,;)
|
|
$
|
|
The average of these two tensors should be the s"Raman tensor" cause by move only the Si atom in A layer,
|
|
slightly towards x+ direction.
|
|
$
|
|
mat(,a_2,a_1;a_2,,;a_1,,;)
|
|
$
|
|
The difference should be the "Raman tensor" of the second atom.
|
|
$
|
|
mat(,-a_2,a_1;-a_2,,;a_1,,;)
|
|
$
|
|
|
|
// This approach applied relied on the fact that, all Si atom in 4H-SiC is "distinguishable" by the symmetry operations.
|
|
// I mean, what will happen if we have two Si atoms in A layer?
|
|
// Apparently, we could not extract the "Raman tensor" of only one of the two atoms.
|
|
// This is the case for the 6H-SiC.
|
|
// Hence, we will provide a more general approach to estimate the "Raman tensor" of a single atom.
|
|
|
|
Consider the Si atom in the B1 layer.
|
|
It lives in an environment quite similar to the A layer.
|
|
Thus, the "Raman tensor" caused by it should be similar to the one caused by the A layer:
|
|
$
|
|
mat(,a_2+epsilon_2,a_1+epsilon_1;a_2+epsilon_2,,;a_1+epsilon_1,,;)
|
|
$
|
|
Similar to the Si atom in B2 layer:
|
|
$
|
|
mat(,-a_2-epsilon_2,a_1+epsilon_1;-a_2-epsilon_2,,;a_1+epsilon_1,,;)
|
|
$
|
|
|
|
Same approach applied for Si atom vibrate in y direction.
|
|
When we move both Si atoms in A and C layer in y+ direction,
|
|
it is B1 in E1, thus the "Raman tensor" should be:
|
|
$
|
|
mat(,,;,,2a_3;,2a_3,;)
|
|
$
|
|
And if we move Si in A layer towards y+ but Si in C layer towards y-,
|
|
it is A2 in E2:
|
|
$
|
|
mat(2a_4,,;,-2a_4,;,,;)
|
|
$
|
|
Thus we get the "Raman tensor" of Si atom in A layer sololy move towards y+ direction:
|
|
$
|
|
mat(a_4,,;,-a_4,a_3;,a_3,;)
|
|
$
|
|
and the "Raman tensor" of Si atom in C layer towards y+ direction:
|
|
$
|
|
mat(-a_4,,;,a_4,a_3;,a_3,;)
|
|
$
|
|
Same applied for the Si atom in B layer:
|
|
$
|
|
mat(a_4+epsilon_4,,;,-a_4-epsilon_4,a_3+epsilon_3;,a_3+epsilon_3,;)
|
|
$
|
|
$
|
|
mat(-a_4-epsilon_4,,;,a_4+epsilon_4,a_3+epsilon_3;,a_3+epsilon_3,;)
|
|
$
|
|
|
|
Before consider z-direction, it is important to note that, $a_1$ $a_2$ $a_3$ $a_4$ are not independent.
|
|
Consider vibration along x+ direction (lets say the distance is $d$).
|
|
System energy caused by external electric field and vibration is:
|
|
$
|
|
E^T (mat(,,2a_1;,,;2a_1,,) d) E
|
|
$
|
|
Apply C#sub[3] to atom vibration and external field, energy should not change. We got:
|
|
$
|
|
(mat(-1/2,-sqrt(3)/2,;sqrt(3)/2,-1/2,;,,1)E)^T ( mat(,,2a_1;,,;2a_1,,)(-1/2 d) + mat(,,;,,2a_3;,2a_3,)(sqrt(3)/2 d) )
|
|
(mat(-1/2,-sqrt(3)/2,;sqrt(3)/2,-1/2,;,,1)E)
|
|
$
|
|
It is equal to:
|
|
$
|
|
E^T (mat(,,1/2 a_1 + 3/2 a_3;,,sqrt(3)/2 a_1 - sqrt(3)/2 a_3;1/2 a_1 + 3/2 a_3,sqrt(3)/2 a_1 - sqrt(3)/2 a_3,) d) E
|
|
$
|
|
Thus:
|
|
$
|
|
1/2 a_1 + 3/2 a_3 = 2a_1 #linebreak()
|
|
sqrt(3)/2 a_1 - sqrt(3)/2 a_3 = 0
|
|
$
|
|
Thus $a_1 = a_3$.
|
|
Apply the same method, we get $abs(a_2) = abs(a_4)$.
|
|
Since we have not define the sign of $a_4$, we could take $a_2 = a_4$.
|
|
Same for $epsilon$.
|
|
|
|
Now consider what if we move the Si atom in A layer along z+ direction.
|
|
If we move the Si atom in C layer along z+ direction, it is A1:
|
|
$
|
|
mat(2a_5,,;,2a_5,;,,2a_6;)
|
|
$
|
|
If we move the Si atom in C layer along z- direction, it is B1:
|
|
$
|
|
0
|
|
$
|
|
Thus we get the "Raman tensor" of Si atom in A or C layer towards z+ direction:
|
|
$
|
|
mat(a_5,,;,a_5,;,,a_6;)
|
|
$
|
|
|
|
Lets consider the C atom in A layer.
|
|
It should be somehow similar to the Si atom in A layer, but with a negative sign in some places,
|
|
and then add or subtract some little value.
|
|
Actually, the "transformation" of Si atom in A layer to C atom in A layer applied in the following steps:
|
|
- reverse charge.
|
|
- reverse system along xy plane.
|
|
First we consider the first step.
|
|
Taking the define of electricity tenser:
|
|
$
|
|
P = chi E
|
|
$
|
|
Lets reverse charge of the system, say we now have electricity tensor $chi'$. We get:
|
|
$
|
|
-P = chi'(-E)
|
|
$
|
|
Thus we get $chi' = chi$, the first step does not change the electricity tensor, nor the "Raman tensor".
|
|
|
|
Now we consider the second step.
|
|
For electricity tensor, it will become:
|
|
$
|
|
mat(1,,;,1,;,,-1) chi mat(1,,;,1,;,,-1)
|
|
$
|
|
For $u$, when it is along x or y direction, it will not change. When it is along z direction, it will become $-u$.
|
|
|
|
So in conclusion, Raman tensor of C atom in A layer could be estimated from the Raman tensor of Si atom in A layer, by:
|
|
- for movement alone x and y direction, xz yz should be applied a negative sign.
|
|
- for movement alone z direction, xx xy yy zz should be applied a negative sign.
|
|
|
|
Export "Raman tensor" of C atom in C layer from C atom in A layer, in the same way.
|
|
|
|
Now consider the C atom in B1 layer.
|
|
Is it similar to the C atom in A layer, just like that for Si atom?
|
|
No. It turns out to be similar to the C atom in C layer.
|
|
|
|
We summarize these stuff into @table-singleatom.
|
|
|
|
Until now, we only consider the "Raman tensor" caused by single atom or atoms move in the same amplitudes.
|
|
However, that is not the case in real phonon.
|
|
- In some A1 modes, only Si or C atom moves. If we take the magnitude of eigenvector as 1,
|
|
then amplitude of each atom is $1/(4sqrt(m_#text[Si]))$ or $1/(4sqrt(m_#text[C]))$.
|
|
- In other cases, the amplitude of Si and C are in the ration of $m_#text[C] : m_#text[Si]$.
|
|
thus the amplitude of Si atom is $1/2 sqrt(1/(m_#text[Si]+m_#text[Si]^2/m_#text[C]))$, so do the C atom.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, we list predicted modes and their Raman tensors, in @table-predmode.
|
|
|
|
- $a$: Raman tensor of Si atom in A layer, large value.
|
|
- $epsilon$: Difference of Raman tensors of Si atom in A and B1 layer, small value.

- $eta$: Difference of Raman tensors of C and Si atom in A layer, small value.
|
|
- $zeta$: Difference of Raman tensors of C atoms in A and B layer, small value.
