Vibration Eigenmodes and Size of Microcrystallites in Glass: Observation by Very-Low-Frequency Raman Scattering

Abstract
The observation of very-low-frequency bands by Raman scattering in a nucleated cordierite glass is described. The frequency of the maximum of scattering is proportional to the inverse diameter of the particles, which are spherical spinel microcrystallites. It is shown that vibrational surface modes of particles are responsible for this Raman scattering.
