“…[87,88] A recent study summarizes the noncompletely converging results of previous modeling analyses and suggests an interpretation suitable for a critical use of the experimental data for the structural characterization of the materials. [89] The main drawback of many previous studies was that the used classical approaches did not dispose on a reliable model for the calculation to the Raman intensity (Zotov et al [78] tried to calculate the Raman spectra of Na 2 Si 4 O 9 and SiO 2 glasses, but as the authors neglected the derivative of the transversal polarizability, they were not able to calculate intensities of the defect bands), while first-principles calculations, potentially capable of providing the most reliable results, were constrained to use small structural models, which could not yield a representative distribution of ring structures and thus led to large uncertainties on the calculated Raman intensities.
