Abstract
Stokes-Ramanspectra of unltramicroscopic scattering centres in LiF- and NaCl single crystals excited by the focussed light of a He-Ne-gaslaser of 21.4 mW at 632.8 nm are reported here for the first time. The spectra exhibit essentially three parts: 1. a continuum and the limiting frequency of transversal optical phonons at small frequency shifts as a first order Raman effect; 2. second order Raman effect not yet measured for LiF; 3. a strong continuum at larger wavenumbers that may be attributed to three phonon processes. This latter phenomenon becomes plausible when the high field strangth of 5×105 volt/m in the closest constriction of the exciting light beam and the substantial lattice deformations in the scattering centres are considered. The spectra of LiF are by far more intensive than those of NaCl.

Dr. E. E.Schneider, Reader in Physics, School of Physics, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, hat mir freundlicherweise die an der University of Aberdeen gezogenen Kristalle überlassen. Die vorgelegten Messungen wären nicht möglich gewesen, wenn nicht das Institut für angewandte Physik der Universität des Saarlandes den Spectra Physics Gaslaser und das Institut für Anorganische Chemie der Universität des Saarlandes die Interferenzfilter zur Verfügung gestellt hätten. Ihnen allen danke ich sehr für die mir gewährte Unterstützung.
