“…17,18). Only transverse modes should be seen in infrared absorption spectra at normal incidence, but both may be observed in Raman spectra (17,19) The foregoing interpretation can easily be verified, since strong infrared absorption bands are usually complicated by a reflection shoulder extending to the longitudinal frequency v, (20,21), a phenomenon which, however, should not be observed if the sample thickness is less than one wavelength of the incident radiation (22).…”
