Abstract
Raman polarizability tensors for layered crystals, , GaSe, and red are calculated on the basis of the bond-polarizability concept. It is shown that out-of-plane folded modes are missing or very weak. Missing modes arise from the cancellation of the bond Raman polarizabilities within a unit cell. From a comparison with observed Raman spectra the nature of the atomic bonding is discussed.
