Abstract

The Raman effect of corundum (sapphire) was measured with an Ar+ laser source. The seven expected Raman active phonons were found and their symmetry characters determined. Assignment of the internal and external vibrations of the crystals was made and the effect of birefringence in the Raman selection rules is discussed.
