Abstract

The combined use of Resonant Raman and Brillouin scattering together with a “simple” description of the energy bands allows to determine the absolute values of scattering cross sections and of phonon deformation potentials (including sign) in semiconductors and insulators. Besides, a lesson on how to treat green researchers (and people in general) is given.

Note Added in Proof

Manuel was lately quite interested in bibliometric issues. There is an interesting case for those who believe blindly in citations, h numbers and alike. It is an example of “Sleeping Beauty”: [2] received a total of 35 citations in the first 30 years after publication. Then ZnO became a fancy material due to its emerging interest for optoelectronic applications. As a result, the number of citations climbed to 508 (21-10-2014). The paper is, of course, the same.
