Abstract

We present a calculation of the dielectric correlation function in glasses showing how the assumption of short correlation length for normal modes breaks the momentum selection rules and leads to expressions for the first-order Raman-scattering intensity in terms of the density-of-states functions and known frequency-dependent amplitudes.
