Ab-initio investigation of first-order Raman scattering in gallium oxide — •Rouven Koch, Pasquale Pavone, Dmitrii Nabok, and Claudia Draxl — Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Physics Department and IRIS Adlershof, Germany

In this work, we investigate the Raman tensors and first-order spectra of the β and α phase of Ga2O3 by means of first-principles calculations using the ab-initio methodology implemented in the software package T1lmttbnexciting [1]. We start from the determination of the equilibrium crystal structure of both polymorphs. Then, we explore the lattice dynamics of the two phases, paying special attention to the characterization of the phonons at the Γ point. The peculiar properties of the polar phonon modes of the β phase are addressed, including the LO-TO splitting and reflectivity spectra. Then, we compute the frequency-dependent dielectric tensors within the random-phase approximation. The lattice-dynamical properties and the dielectric tensors are used for the calculation of the Raman spectra in different polarizations. The obtained polarized Raman spectra for α- and β-Ga2O3 are compared to available data in the literature [2]. Our results highlight the fact that excitonic effects do not play a significant role on off-resonance Raman spectra. The overall good agreement with the experiments indicates the accuracy of the approximations used in this calculation.
