The vibrational properties of crystals determine the photon infrared absorption, inelastic neutron scattering and, to a large extent, inelastic photon scattering by phonons, i.e., Raman scattering. The interpretation of infrared and Raman spectra requires, therefore, an understanding of the basic features of lattice dynamics. The quantum theory of solids describes the crystal properties in terms of elementary excitations and their mutual interactions. Dynamic properties are represented by phonons (lattice vibrations) and their interactions mainly with other phonons (anharmonicity), electrons (electron-phonon coupling), and photons (interaction with radiation). This characterizes the scope of the article. Its emphasis is on the interrelation between theory and experiment, i.e., on the microscopic or model interpretation of experimental spectra.Work on infrared absorption and Raman scattering of non-metallic solids was summarized twenty years ago in two review articles in this Encyclopedia by LECOMTE (1958) and by MIZUSHIMA (1958). Since then, many important new experimental data have become available, thanks to very refined techniques for measuring spectra of pure and imperfect single crystals. Furthermore, the theory of the interactions of phonons and photons has been much improved, stimulated by the remarkable development of the theory of lattice vibrations and the mathematical techniques of many-body physics.In this article we describe the dispersion and absorption of infrared radiation and Raman scattering in non-metallic crystals, both perfect and containing point defects. At present, quantitative calculations are usually restricted to diatomic crystals, especially those with simple structures such as the alkali halides or germanium and its homologues, since our knowledge of lattice vibrations is still rather poor for polyatomic and low-symmetry crystals. The theory of lattice vibrations, as reviewed by COCHRAN and COWLEY (1967) in Vol. XXV /2a of this Encyclopedia, constitutes the background and the natural starting point for our investigations. There are other recent reviews by LUDWIG (1967), COCHRAN (1971), MARADUDIN et al. (1971), SINHA (1973), and several articles in: HORTON and MARADUDIN (eds., 1974). A summary of the developments during the last few years is given in Chap. B.An important part of the theory of lattice vibrations is the construction of models. A good example is the so-called shell model for phonons (see Sect. 4) which describes the adiabatic linear electron-ion interaction in terms of localized charges and coupling constants. This provides a natural explanation of some long-range ion-ion forces in insulators in terms of induced dipole forces. Anharmonic extensions of this shell model and its modifications seem very desirable, and first attempts in this direction are discussed.Models can often give a qualitatively and sometimes quantitatively correct description of certain processes in terms of a few parameters. They provide, therefore, an orientation for microscopic approaches. Furthermo...
