Abstract
The low-frequency Raman coupling coefficient C(v) of 11 different glasses is evaluated. It is shown that the coupling coefficient demonstrates a universal linear frequency behavior C(v)∞(v/vBP+B) near the boson peak maximum vBP. The frequency dependence of C(v) allows us to separate the glasses studied into two groups: the first group has a frequency independent contribution B∼0.5, while the second one has B∼0. It was found that C(v) demonstrates a superlinear behavior at very low frequencies. This observation suggests a vanishing of the coupling coefficient when frequency tends to zero.
