Abstract

Circularly polarized Raman and/or photoluminescence (PL) analyses have recently been very important in studying physical properties of many layered materials that were either mechanically exfoliated or grown by chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) on silicon substrates. Since silicon Raman signal is always accompanied by the circularly polarized Raman and/or PL signal from the layered materials, observation of proper circularly polarized Raman selection rules on silicon substrates would be extremely good indicator that the circularly polarized Raman and/or PL measurements on the layered materials were done properly. We have performed circularly polarized Raman measurements on silicon substrates and compared the results with the Raman intensities calculated by using Raman tensors of the diamond crystal structure. Our experimental results were in excellent agreement with the calculation. Similar circularly polarized Raman analysis done on germanium substrate also showed good agreement.
