Evidence for anisotropic excitonlike enhancement of the Raman scattering from La2CuO4

Description

Polarized Raman studies on oriented single crystals of La2CuO4 yield α/sub z//sub z/ spectra with narrow lines at 429 and 228 cm/sup -1/ that are identified as the two A1/sub g/ modes expected for the tetragonal K2NiF4 structure; α/sub x//sub z/ spectra with one line at 228 cm/sup -1/ that has E/sub g/ symmetry; and α/sub x//sub x/ spectra with numerous peaks that are due to normally forbidden phonon excitations. The α/sub x//sub x/ spectra also show strong second-order features, suggesting a highly anisotropic, excitonlike enhancement of the Raman scattering
