S. C. SIRKAR, C. V. RAMAN AND DIFFUSE SPOTS IN LAUE PHOTOGRAPHS

摘要

Sukumar C. Sirkar was the first person in India, who started measuring the intensity of Raman lines, shortly after the discovery of the Raman effect in 1928. He began his research carrier under C.V. Raman in 1926; and did D.Sc. at the University of Calcutta. In 1940, CV. Raman and his students in Bangalore announced the discovery of a new kind of Laue spots in crystals. This led to controversy over the discovery, as well as theoretical interpretation of the effect. The present article shows the role played by Raman's students K. Banerjee, K.S. Krishnan and S.C Sirkar in the controversy.
